First Aid & CPR Instructor Recertification

For current Red Cross instructors who wish to recertify their First Aid & CPR Instructor certification.

This 6 hour course recertifies candidates to teach Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR courses.

This session will emphasize instructional techniques and offer a chance to exchange experiences with fellow instructors in a cooperative setting. Participants will engage in discussions on effective teaching methods and facilitation strategies. The agenda comprises individual and group tasks, hands-on teaching practice, principles of injury prevention, fostering inclusivity, and promoting progressive learning.

Instructor was very enthusiastic and effective. Really enjoyed the hands-on learning and scenarios!

Julia Nemer Standard First Aid, Nanaimo, BC More Testimonials

Awesome course. I've taken a course through St. John's, but I found the level of "hands-on" training more useful. The scenarios were a great learning tool and helps to reinforce the learning.
