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.

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.
Prerequisites
- Must be 18 years of age or above
