First Aid Instructor Courses in Mississauga

Did you know that you have the ability to provide your community with skills that could potentially save a life? Coast2Coast provides Canadian Red Cross First Aid and CPR instructor training program in Mississauga, which is designed to teach aspiring instructors the skills and knowledge required to teach various safety training courses. Our instructor development program is designed to provide comprehensive guidance on teaching and facilitation of techniques required for individual and group tasks, teaching practice, injury prevention principles, inclusion, and progressive learning.

After meeting the prerequisites, the candidate can begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. This component consists of two parts: an online theoretical and an in-class portion. Candidates must pass both portions to complete the component. After they finish this requirement, they may move on to the next stage: The Discipline-Specific classroom component. This second component requires 2 more days of in-class training. Candidates will be given the chance to refine their teaching abilities by leading peer teaching sessions, which is the final step in receiving their Instructor Certificate.

After you’ve completed the course, you’ll get an e-certificate that has a validity period of 3 years. Certified instructors can teach all of the following courses: Basic First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid, and CPR. Now is the time to get started!

If you’re looking to provide skills training to current and aspiring medical professionals, consider our Professional Responder Instructor Development course. This Canadian Red Cross-approved course focuses on teaching methods that are required to teach specialized courses for first responders (FR), emergency medical responders (EMR), and advanced first aid in Mississauga.

This intensive course includes teaching through real-life scenarios, holding educational sessions in various settings, and offering unique experiences during the course. The course material is designed to be flexible, based on the teaching talents of the instructors, allowing for a more dynamic and enjoyable learning atmosphere.

Once candidates have met the prerequisites for the course, they can start the Fundamentals of Instruction component. Within this component, the candidate must complete an 8-hour online session before attending the classroom portion, during which they must apply the concepts under the guidance of an Instructor Trainer. Candidates who successfully complete the first component may advance to the 2-day discipline-specific classroom component, which prepares them to teach Professional Responder courses. Candidates must then complete the in-class Teaching Experience component, which entails teaching in a dynamic classroom setting after which their certificates will be processed.

The validity period for certifications is three years. The candidate’s fulfillment of the pathway components and courses that they want to teach will be examined, as per their requirements. This training allows candidates to teach Basic Life Support (BLS), First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder. Reserve a spot with us right now!

Do you want to work in the education sector but don’t know where to start? The First Aid Instructor Transfer course in Mississauga not only provides you with a Canadian Red Cross certification, but also enables candidates to 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.

With previous expertise, you may qualify for the Instructor Development Program in one of two categories:

  1. If you are an instructor with another ministry-approved First Aid organization
  2. If you are certified as the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor or as an educator (elementary or secondary level)

Depending on which category the candidate falls into, their training will take one of these paths: For those who fall into the first category, they’d simply apply what they’ve learnt in prior First Aid training from recognized organizations to the Red Cross’s First Aid curriculum. Before becoming an instructor, they will need to check prerequisites, complete a skills evaluation, as well as complete the Fundamentals of Instruction component. Once this is complete, they may skip the Discipline Specific Component since they already have an understanding of First Aid & CPR. Following that, they will complete the in-class Teaching Experience.

However, the candidates who fit into category 2 will have a slightly different learning experience. The candidate must successfully pass a skills evaluation to begin this course. Since candidates have previous experience as educators or Red Cross-approved Water Safety Instructors, they are not required to participate in the Fundamentals of instruction. They may skip to the Discipline-Specific component, then complete a Teaching Experience component, afterwards, in order to practice peer teaching sessions.

If a participant completes the training and passes all of the evaluations, they will be awarded a certificate which is valid for three years. Enroll for our course now!

This course focuses on teaching, supervision, and assessment. The Recertification training program is designed for instructors to help them strengthen their teaching practice.

Why First Aid & CPR Instructors are Important

Have you ever realized the role that First Aid & CPR instructors play in our lives? Thousands of people need to get certified in First Aid & CPR each month for their job. This means that being an Instructor with the Canadian Red Cross prepares tons of people for their careers. Safety is important and we should always be ready to help save a life!

We know that emergencies won’t stop for anyone. With proper First Aid & CPR knowledge, we can help an injured person, know how to care for incidents and even save lives. Most incidents happen at home or at work (where we spend the most time), so it’s critical to understand various life-saving techniques to save a family member, co-worker, friend, etc.

With the help of a First Aid & CPR instructor, we can gain the confidence required to save a life! Many of us feel uncomfortable helping someone because we’re unsure of what to do. So what are you waiting for? Register for an Instructor Development training course to create a safer society! We can’t wait to teach you how to become an instructor (or help you recertify).
