Select Richmond Hill First Aid & CPR Instructor Courses

There’s nothing as fulfilling as leading a group of professionals who are on the lookout during times of emergencies. Our Canadian Red Cross instructor development course in Richmond Hill is designed to educate candidates on the skills necessary to instruct First Aid & CPR courses. Our instructor development program includes a comprehensive guide that covers how-tos on teaching and facilitating, individual and group tasks, teaching practice, injury prevention principles, inclusion, and progressive learning.

Once the candidate has completed the prerequisites for the course, they can begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. This section includes 8 hours of online training, in addition to a 14.5-hour (2-day) in-class component. The participants will then attend the Discipline-Specific classroom component, which is another 2 days of training. The last step to acquiring their Instructor Certificate is practicing their teaching skills by leading peer teaching sessions.

After successful completion, you’ll receive an e-certificate that is valid for three years. Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid, and CPR courses can all be taught by certified instructors.

Get the privilege to train tons of people in critical and life-saving skills. Our Canadian Red Cross Professional Responder Instructor development course in Richmond Hill focuses on teaching techniques that are necessary to instruct specialized courses such as First Responder (FR), Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), and advanced first aid.

Candidates who meet the requirements for the course may begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. During this component, an 8-hour online training must be completed before a 2-day classroom portion, where the candidate will apply the concepts under instructor guidance.

Candidates may proceed to the 2-day Discipline-Specific classroom component after they have completed the Fundamentals of Instruction, where they will be prepared to teach Professional Responder courses. This is followed by the teaching experience component, which allows candidates to instruct in a dynamic class setting before their certification can be finalized.

Certifications have a three-year validity period. Candidates’ completion of the pathway components and courses that they want to teach will be verified, in accordance with their preferences. This may range from the following: BLS Instructor, First Responder Instructor, and Emergency Medical Responder Instructor. Book your Instructor training today!

Switching careers and increasing your work opportunities has never been easier! Our First Aid Instructor Transfer course is a Canadian Red Cross certification in Richmond Hill that allows students to become instructors of Red Cross safety courses such as CPR, Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid, and Marine Basic First Aid.

There are two ways that candidates may qualify for the Instructor Development Program with previous experience: 

  • If the candidate is certified by another ministry-approved First Aid agency
  • If they work for the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Program or as a teacher (elementary or secondary level)

Depending on the category in which the candidate falls, their training will follow one of these paths: Candidates who fall into the first category will apply what they’ve learnt in prior First Aid courses from other recognized institutions to the Red Cross First Aid curriculum. Although they will still need to check prerequisites and have their skills evaluated, once that is complete, they will need to finish a Fundamentals of Instruction component. After finishing this component, they will be able to skip the Discipline-Specific Component since they already have knowledge of First Aid & CPR. The next stage will be a one-day in-class Teaching Experience.

Candidates who fit category 2 that successfully complete a skills evaluation will be allowed to skip the Fundamentals of instruction, as it is assumed that they have experience as an educator or Red Cross-approved Water Safety Instructor.  They will start with the Discipline-Specific Classroom component, which is up to 14.5 hours long. After the candidate completes the Discipline-Specific component, they will then peer teach to gain experience in teaching sessions.

The candidates who successfully complete the training will be awarded a certificate that is valid for up to three years. Sign up now.

  • Must be 18 years of age or above

Is your certificate on the verge of expiring? At Coast2Coast, we provide the Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor Recertification Course in Richmond Hill that is designed for those who already have their instructor certificate and want to renew it.

This extensive course is designed to provide candidates with the opportunity 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. Instructor Recertification is a comprehensive training course which covers lessons on teaching, supervision, and evaluation. It also encompasses individual and group tasks, practice teaching sessions, injury prevention concepts, inclusion strategies for all learners, as well as progressive learning practices.

The Instructor Recertification course requires candidates to first complete the HUB component. The HUB is a 4-hour training which can be completed virtually or in class every 3 years. After completing the HUB, they may move on to the discipline-specific component. This four-hour training can also be done virtually or in class. Candidates may recertify in three different disciplines. Candidates need to recertify in each discipline separately:

  • First Aid & CPR (4 hours)
  • Professional Responder (4 hours)
  • Wilderness (4 hours)

In order to recertify your instructor certification, you must have a current CRC First Aid Program Instructor Certification which includes teaching experience of 3 Canadian Red Cross First Aid Programs during the validity period of the certificate.

The candidate will be awarded a certificate with a validity of up to 3 years after successful completion of this course. Book your training now!

Why First Aid & CPR Instructors are Important

If you have taken a First Aid & CPR course in the past, then you probably know how much your instructor stressed the importance of understanding the life-saving skills you learned. Emergencies happen on a daily basis all over the world which is why it is necessary for so many people to be certified. This is why many companies require their employees to be First Aid & CPR certified regardless if they work in healthcare or even in an office.

First Aid & CPR training teaches people the skills required to save a life. Training ranges from practicing CPR to wrapping an injured arm in a sling. With the right curriculum and instructor, students can gain not only skills, but confidence in their life-saving abilities.

Instructors make a difference in their students’ lives. They can teach important safety skills, but passionate instructors also encourage their students to be passionate about learning these skills. They teach them why we use specific techniques and provide real-life experiences and knowledge to their classrooms. Your role as an instructor shapes the minds of our community. Provide your students with the confidence in saving a life whether that is a friend, co-worker or family member. Join an Instructor Development training course today!
