First Aid Instructor

The First Aid Instructor course prepares the instructor to teach and evaluate first aid skills. Through classroom learning and in-water practice, instructor candidates explore proven teaching methods, learning strategies and activities, a variety of stroke and skill drills, effective correction techniques, and evaluation criteria. Practice teaching is emphasized throughout. Candidates learn to evaluate participants in Basic Workplace First Aid and Intermediate Workplace First aid. Please note that candidates will not be able to teach Bronze Medallion or Bronze Cross without also taking the Lifesaving Instructor course. Apprenticeships are required after the Course to be fully certified. 100% course attendance is required. Cancellations requested 7 days or more prior to the first day of the program qualify for a refund. The refund will be processed for the full amount of the fee paid, minus an administrative charge of 10%. Cancellations requested less than 7 days prior to the first day of the program do not qualify for a refund or credit.
