London First Aid & CPR Instructor Development Course

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.

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.

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.

London Instructor Development Transfer Course

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:

If they have completed an Instructor training with another First Aid agency
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:

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.
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.

Ezz was great! He was a top notch instructor despite having hip pain. Made the course enjoyable, engaging, and left us very good nuggets of information that I will always remember. My only feedback for this program is not with the instructor, but with the company. I wanted to cancel a class that I had booked with three weeks notice and was told I would be charged $35. I think that policy makes sense with a last minute cancelation but not within a three week notice.
Something to consider to ensure customer satisfaction.

I recently completed my First Aid & CPR training at Coast to Coast First Aid & Aquatics – 717 Richmond Street, and I had a great experience!
Before booking, I reached out to ask a question about a possible discount. They were very proactive in responding, answered all my questions clearly, offered me a student discount, and even helped book the course for me. The customer service alone made the process smooth and stress-free.
The instructor was fun, informative, and extremely knowledgeable, which made the course engaging and easy to follow. They explained everything clearly and kept the class interactive, so it never felt boring.
The facility is clean and well-organized. It’s conveniently located on the 3rd floor, and everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. The training started right on time and even finished a bit early, which I really appreciated.
Overall, it was a professional, efficient, and positive learning environment. I would definitely recommend them for First Aid & CPR training!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Jave Young! 🎉 We're so glad to hear our team was proactive in helping you book your Standard First Aid course and that our instructor made the training in London so engaging and easy to follow.

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!
