The American Heart Association Instructor Course teaches the methods needed to effectively instruct others in CPR/AED and First Aid Courses.

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive your American Heart Association Instructor card along with a Healthcare Provider card before leaving class.

These are both a two year certification card.

Please note there are prerequisites for this course. To be a certified instructor, you must have a current Healthcare Provider card and certificate demonstrating completion of the Core Instructor Course. You must purchase the Core Instructor Manual that comes with a CD-Rom and key code. You may either use the CD-Rom or the key code online but please note that if you choose to use the CD-Rom, you will not be able to return to where you left off or to reprint the certificate at the end. This course will take 5-7 hours to complete. Once you have completed this course, please print off the certificate and bring it to your scheduled Instructor Course. Your Instructor Card will NOT be issued without this certificate.

In order to receive your Instructor Certification, we have to observe you teaching a class. As a convenience to you, we offer a micro-teaching topic that you will prepare and present to the class the date of the course. This topic will be emailed to you. This is not a formal presentation requiring visuals or handouts rather it is an opportunity to be observed and assisted by an instructor.

The price for the Instructor course is $131. The Core Instructor Manual can be purchased for $30 and for an additional $8.00, we will ship it to you.
