Our Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR Instructor Development course in Scarborough is designed to teach students the knowledge and skills required to deliver First Aid and CPR training courses.

This intensive course is a comprehensive tutorial that offers instructions on how-tos for instructing individual and group activities, classroom exercises, injury prevention suggestions, inclusion, and progressive learning.

After meeting the necessary requirements, the candidate can move on to the next stage of training: The Fundamentals of Instruction. Candidates must complete a total of 8 hours of online study, in which the information obtained from the curriculum will be combined with a 14.5-hour (2-day) in-class component. After this component is finished, they will continue to the Discipline-Specific classroom component, which requires another 2 days of instruction in person. Participants will have the opportunity to practice their teaching skills by leading peer teaching sessions, which is the last step in receiving this credential.

Upon successful completion, you will be certified as an Instructor and this certification will remain valid for 3 years. Basic/Emergency First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid, and CPR courses can all be taught by trained instructors.

Learn how to train future heroes in your community who are willing to risk their lives to save others. Our Canadian Red Cross Professional Responder Instructor Development course in Scarborough is designed to equip instructors with the specialized skills necessary to provide instruction for First Responders (FR), Emergency Medical Responders (EMR), and advanced first aid.

Candidates who satisfy the prerequisites for the course may begin learning the Fundamentals of Instruction component. During this component, the candidate must first finish an 8-hour online training before progressing to a 14.5-hour classroom portion. Once in the class, they will be taught by an Instructor Trainer who will help them put into practice what they learned from the online portion.

Upon finishing this module, students may proceed with the 2-day Discipline-Specific component which will ready them to teach Professional Responder courses. Once they complete the Discipline-Specific component, they will move on to the Teaching Experience component. Candidates are then able to instruct in a dynamic classroom setting. Only after this is completed can their certification be processed.

The candidate will be provided with an e-certificate that’s valid for three years upon completion of the program. We will verify that the candidate has completed all of the necessary components and courses for teaching, as specified by them. The program may also entail becoming a BLS instructor, first responder instructor, and emergency medical responder instructor.

Our Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor Transfer program in Scarborough can help you take your career to the next level. This certification enables students to teach Canadian Red Cross First Aid courses, including CPR, Basic/Emergency First Aid, Intermediate/Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid, and Marine Basic First Aid.

With prior expertise, candidates may qualify for the Instructor Development Program in one of two ways:

  1. They are First Aid instructors from another ministry-approved First Aid agency
  2. They are either be a Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor or Instructor Trainer, or an educator at the elementary or secondary level

Candidates will be trained via one of the following methods, depending on which category they fall into: Those who fall under group 1 will take their pre-existing First Aid knowledge & expertise from other organizations and build upon it with the Red Cross First Aid training program.

Once the candidate’s skills and prerequisites are checked, they may begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. This is 8 hours online and 14.5 hours in class. Once complete, the candidate may skip the Discipline-Specific component as they have knowledge in teaching First Aid & CPR. Finally, they will have a brief in-class Teaching Experience.

Candidates who meet the requirements of group 2 will have a slightly different pathway. To complete this course path, the applicant must first pass a skills assessment and pass the necessary prerequisites. Since these candidates have experience as an educator or a Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructor, they are exempt from taking the Fundamentals of Instruction component and will move directly to the Discipline-Specific component. After they complete the Discipline-Specific component, participants will gain experience in teaching through practice sessions with their peers.

Candidates who successfully complete the course will be issued a certificate that is valid for 3 years. Start your journey today!
