Red Cross Instructor Development Program

Red Cross First Aid. Prepare for Life™

The Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor Development Program trains and certifies Instructors to organize and deliver the First Aid & CPR courses.

The Instructor Development Program trains Instructors to apply an individualized approach to instructing, which focuses on injury prevention, learning styles and a variety of instructional techniques that consider the abilities, ages and needs of each candidate. Our First Aid & CPR Instructors are trained to encourage each participant's personal rate of achievement, recognizing this will vary from one person to the next.

To maintain your certification 2 courses must be taught during the 3-year period or you will not be able to re-certify.

This course provides candidates with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach Canadian Red Cross First Aid courses. The candidates are expected to have finely tuned first aid and CPR technical skills. Therefore, this course focuses on how to teach and facilitate and not on learning first aid and CPR skills.

Red Cross Fundamental Principles and first aid and CPR training philosophies are also reinforced throughout the course.
