First Aid Instructor Transfer Option 2

Canadidates with previous experience as a Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor/Instructor Trainer or who are an educator (elementary or secondary level) will follow the Instructor Development Pathway above, however they will not be required to complete the in-class component of Step 2.

The next step in the instructor pathway is the Fundamentals of Instruction course, which consists of an 8-hour online module followed by a 2-day in-class module. Transfer Option 2: If you are currently a Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, you will skip the in-class portion of this course, but will still need to complete the 8-hour online module. 

STEP 3: FIRST AID & CPR DISCIPLINE-SPECIFIC

The First Aid & CPR Discipline-Specific module consists of two days in class and microteach assignments that you'll receive ahead of time.

STEP 4: TEACHING EXPERIENCE

The last step in the certification process is to complete a Teaching Experience online module (30-45 min) and a classroom component with the support of a Teaching Experience Supervisor.

STEP 5: CERTIFICATION

Once certified as an instructor, you will need to work with a Red Cross Training Agency to process participant certifications.
