    First and foremost, we must clarify a common misconception about this training and what it is designed to do. Instructor training is simply training on how to become an instructor. It is not designed to make you an expert in the subject matter. Becoming an expert in the subject matter generally takes years of education and years of teaching.


    However, it's alright if you're not yet an expert in the subject matter. The way the video-mediated classes are designed, your role initially is more of a class facilitator, coach, and motivator to your students. The video does most of the teaching for you. Over time, as you become more comfortable and knowledgeable with the material, you will be better able to answer questions and expand on the curriculum.

    Any individual interested in becoming an instructor must hold a current "Provider Level" certification from the AHA (meaning you hold a current First Aid and/or CPR certification). You'll be asked to present a copy of this certification during your instructor training.
