Select a First Aid & CPR Instructor Course in London

Grab the opportunity of guiding and tutoring students with life-saving skills now! Our Canadian Red Cross Instructor Development course in London provides aspiring instructors with the skills they need to teach First Aid & CPR courses. The Instructor Development program is designed to provide a comprehensive guide on how to teach, facilitate learning (for both individuals and groups), practice teaching, prevent injuries, include everyone in the learning process, and gradually introduce new concepts.

After meeting the course prerequisites, candidates can begin learning the Fundamentals of Instruction. In this component, candidates must finish 8 hours of online training before attending a 14.5-hour in-class portion. The material covered in the online section will be integrated into what is taught during the class. Upon completing the Fundamentals of Instruction component, they may then move to the Discipline-Specific classroom component. The last step to being awarded the Instructor Certificate is for the participants to practice their teaching skills by leading peer teaching sessions.

When you finish this course, you’ll receive an e-certificate that is valid for 3 years. The following courses can be taught by certified instructors: Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid and CPR.

Looking forward to becoming a hero of your community? At Coast2Coast we provide the Canadian Red Cross Professional Responder Instructor course which is based in London. This intensive course is geared toward teaching methods that are essential to instruct specialized courses including First Responder (FR), Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), and advanced first aid. These include providing scenario-based training, conducting sessions in multiple settings, and organizing specialized classes. The course material is designed to let instructors’ unique talents shine, creating a dynamic learning environment.

Candidates can begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component once they have completed the prerequisites for the course. This component includes an 8-hour online training course and a classroom portion where they will put the principles into practice under the supervision of an Instructor Trainer. Once the Fundamentals of Instruction component is complete, they will attend a two-day Discipline-Specific component that prepares them to teach Professional Responder courses. Lastly, they will complete a Teaching Experience component, which allows candidates to teach in a dynamic classroom environment, their certification can be processed.

The validity of certifications is three years. The candidate’s completion of the pathway components and courses that they wish to teach will be verified, in accordance with their specifications. The following are some of the instructor title positions you may hold: BLS, First Responder, and Emergency Medical Responder.

Prerequisites

Do you have prior teaching experience either as an instructor or a school educator? At Coast2Coast we offer a First Aid Instructor Transfer course at our location in London. With this Canadian Red Cross certification, students can become instructors of various Red Cross safety courses, including CPR, Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid and Marine Basic First Aid.

Candidates may qualify for the Instructor Development Program if they have prior experience in one of the following two categories:

  1. If they have completed an Instructor training with another First Aid agency
  2. If they work as the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor/ instructor Trainer or as a teacher (elementary or secondary level)

Depending on which category the candidate falls into, their training will go down one of these paths:

  1. Candidates who fall into the first category will apply what they’ve learnt in prior First Aid training from other reputable organizations to the Red Cross’s First Aid curriculum. They will still need to check if they have met the prerequisites and have their skills evaluated before beginning the Fundamentals of Instruction component. They will then be able to skip the Discipline-Specific component since they already have skills and knowledge acquired for First Aid and CPR. The next step in their training will be a brief in-class Teaching Experience.
  2. The candidates who fit into category 2 are those who have previous experience as educators or Red Cross Water Safety Instructors. These candidates will skip the Fundamentals of Instruction component as they already have this knowledge. Instead, they will learn Red Cross delivery approaches that take up to 14.5 hours in a Discipline-Specific classroom component. After the participant finishes the Discipline-Specific component, they will complete a teaching experience requirement where they can lead small group sessions.

Candidates who successfully complete the course will be given a certificate that is valid for three years.

Prerequisites

  • Must be 18 years of age or above
  • Must hold a valid Canadian Red Cross certificate in the discipline you wish to teach
  • Successfully complete a skills evaluation

Coast2Coast in London is offering the Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor Development Recertification course which is dedicated to current Red Cross instructors who wish to renew their Instructor certificates and complete the Instructor Recertification Hub.

This provides candidates with the ability to teach core Red Cross First Aid & CPR courses such as Emergency and Standard First Aid, CPR/AED, Marine Basic First Aid, and Emergency and Standard Child Care First Aid. This course is designed to teach you the basics of teaching, supervision, and evaluation.

The curriculum features both individual and group exercises, along with trainee teachers, concepts for preventing injuries, inclusive materials, and progressive learning.

Candidates must first pass the HUB component in order to take our Instructor Recertification course. This is a 4-hour training that may be completed virtually or in class.

Why First Aid & CPR Instructors are Important

Have you ever considered what a fascinating experience becoming a First Aid and CPR instructor with the Canadian Red Cross might be? Instructors have a significant influence on our society! First Aid & CPR certification is not just for medical professionals. Many other professions require their employees to be certified as well. Even people who spend most of their day in an office may be required to pass a test on these critical life-saving talents!

Being prepared for an emergency is key, and First Aid training covers a lot of useful information on how to act during different types of unforeseen events. Students can learn skills like CPR and how to care for someone who’s been stung by a bee.

Thanks to committed individuals (like you, we hope), our community may learn how to handle emergency situations in an appropriate manner. First Aid and CPR Instructors provide students with the confidence and abilities to assist their loved ones, friends, and coworkers in emergency situations! You can help protect your community by becoming a certified Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR instructor today!
