Course Overview

This 8 hour course is designed to effectively "train the trainer" in the didactic and hands-on skills needed to teach all the new American Heart Association CPR courses created with the introduction of Guidelines 2005. The course is instructor led, with frequent practice-while-watching skills and role-playing sessions. Instructor candidates will be tested for proficiency in core teaching competencies, including communication and presentation skills, ability to stimulate and motivate students, provide clarification and feedback, assess learning and performance and provide remediation.

Prospective instructors must have current AHA BLS provider status, and non-healthcare professionals must also have current first aid provider status. Candidates must also have completed the AHA Core Instructor Course and be aligned with an AHA Training Center. Upon completion of the course, Nursing Unlimited will be able to conveniently monitor instructor candidates in our ongoing CPR classes.
