First Aid & CPR Instructor Course in Vaughan

Did you know that you could help train the next hero by taking our Canadian Red Cross Instructor Development course in Vaughan which is designed to guide and impart the candidates with the knowledge and abilities necessary to deliver First Aid & CPR courses? Our Instructor Development program is designed to comprehensively guide candidates on how to teach and facilitate, individual and group tasks, teaching practice, injury prevention principles, inclusion, and progressive learning.

The candidate must meet the prerequisites of the course before beginning the Fundamentals of Instruction component. This component requires candidates to finish 8 hours of online course material before taking a 14.5 hour (2 day) in-class which builds upon the knowledge acquired from the online training. They may then proceed to the Discipline-Specific classroom component, which requires another two days of training in class. The participants will be able to apply their teaching skills by leading peer teaching sessions, which is the final step in earning their Instructor Certificate.

After successfully completing this course, you will be awarded an e-certificate which 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.

If you’re looking to teach skills to aspiring medical professionals, consider our Professional Responder Instructor development course. This Canadian Red Cross-approved course is designed with an emphasis on teaching techniques that are necessary to instruct specialized courses for First Responders (FR), Emergency Medical Responders (EMR), and advanced first aid in Vaughan. These include providing real-life scenarios, conducting instructive sessions in multiple settings, and organizing unique classes.

The subject matter is intended to cater to a wide variety of instructors, allowing for a diversified learning environment depending on teaching skills. Furthermore, it only requires a short amount of training for instructors to be able to teach other First Aid courses.

After meeting the prerequisites, students can begin the Fundamentals of Instruction component. Prior to the classroom portion of this component, which requires the candidate to apply the concepts under the guidance of an Instructor Trainer, he or she must complete an eight-hour online portion. After the Fundamentals of Instruction is complete, potential candidates attend a two-day Discipline-Specific classroom component that trains them to teach Professional Responder courses. After completion of the teaching experience component, which allows candidates to teach in a dynamic classroom environment, their certification can be processed.

Certifications are only valid for three years. The candidate’s completion of the pathway components and courses that they wish to teach will be verified, in accordance with their desires. This may include the following: BLS Instructor, First Responder Instructor as well as Emergency Medical Responder Instructor. Book your training with us now!

Are you interested in expanding your career as well as helping save lives?

Our First Aid Instructor Transfer course, offered in Vaughan, is a certification from the Canadian Red Cross that will allow students to teach other individuals Red Cross safety courses, such as CPR, Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid, and Marine Basic First Aid.

With prior expertise, there are two categories in which candidates may apply for the Instructor Development Transfer Program:

  1. If they’re a First Aid instructor with another ministry-approved training organization
  2. If they are a Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor/Instructor Trainer or an educator at the elementary or secondary level

Depending on the category in which the candidate falls, their training will take one of these paths: 

  1. Those who fall into the first category may apply what they’ve learnt in prior First Aid training from other recognized institutions to the Red Cross’s First Aid program. Before they can start teaching, potential instructors will need to check prerequisites and have their skills evaluated. They will then need to complete a Fundamentals of Instruction component. When candidates complete the preceding processes, they can skip the Discipline-Specific Component as they already know what skills and knowledge are required for First Aid and CPR. The next step for obtaining their certificate will be a brief, in-class teaching experience.
  2. The candidates who fall into category 2, on the other hand, will complete the prerequisites and skills evaluation and then skip the Fundamentals of instruction as they have previous education experience. Then, candidates will learn how to implement Red Cross delivery methods in a Discipline-Specific classroom for about 14.5 hours. Once they complete the Discipline-Specific component, the participants will then engage in a teaching experience to practice leading peer teaching sessions.

After completing the training, participants will be issued a certificate that is valid for three years. Register today to reserve your spot.

  • Must be 18 years of age or above

Highly Recommended First Aid & CPR Course!

I attended the Coast2Coast First Aid and CPR course with my wife, who needed it for her work with children as a psychotherapist. The experience was incredibly enlightening. Our instructor, Prabhjot, was highly knowledgeable and taught the course exceptionally well. I particularly appreciated the hands-on CPR practice and the depth of information shared about First Aid. Overall, it was an excellent learning experience, and I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain these essential skills!

“I recently took the First Aid and CPR Level C course, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The content was clear, informative, and hands-on, which made learning the material much easier. Hassan, our instructor, was amazing. He explained the concepts in a simple, engaging way and ensured that everyone felt comfortable with the skills we were learning. His knowledge and experience were evident, and he was always patient, answering any questions we had. I feel much more confident in my ability to respond to emergencies now. Highly recommend this course and instructor Hassan to anyone looking to gain essential life-saving skills!”

Dr. Jonathan Eto
I’ve been certified in SFA/CPR for almost 35 years now and have been through many changes in standards. Our instructor was very clear, concise and had a wealth of knowledge to share with curious minds. Though online courses may be easier to complete, there’s no replacement for having having hands on experience to learn life saving skills.

Erika Liver
Training at location north off Steeles Ave and west of Yonge St. Penny Finnigan ran a fantastic first aid and cpr/AED re-certification course. The day and skills covered was very thorough, well planned, comfortable, and she made me feel like I got even a more solid grasp of the information and skills even though I have done my qualifications a few time In the past. Penny made it fun and relaxing while at the same time, comfortable to discuss and ask any questions, and ensures that we were accurately doing what was needed. I would easily sign up for future courses if Penny was the instructor. She clearly enjoys being an instructor and providing a quality program for those attending.
