Grab the opportunity of guiding and tutoring students with life-saving skills now!

Upon completing the Fundamentals of Instruction component, they may then move to the Discipline-Specific classroom component. The last step to being awarded the Instructor Certificate is for the participants to practice their teaching skills by leading peer teaching sessions.

When you finish this course, you’ll receive an e-certificate that is valid for 3 years. The following courses can be taught by certified instructors: Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Marine Basic First Aid, Emergency Child Care First Aid, Standard Child Care First Aid and CPR.

London Instructor Development Transfer Course

Do you have prior teaching experience either as an instructor or a school educator? At Coast2Coast we offer a First Aid Instructor Transfer course at our location in London. With this Canadian Red Cross certification, students can become instructors of various Red Cross safety courses, including CPR, Emergency First Aid, Standard First Aid, Child Care First Aid and Marine Basic First Aid.

Candidates may qualify for the Instructor Development Program if they have prior experience in one of the following two categories:

If they have completed an Instructor training with another First Aid agency
If they work as the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor/ instructor Trainer or as a teacher (elementary or secondary level)

Depending on which category the candidate falls into, their training will go down one of these paths:

Candidates who fall into the first category will apply what they’ve learnt in prior First Aid training from other reputable organizations to the Red Cross’s First Aid curriculum. They will still need to check if they have met the prerequisites and have their skills evaluated before beginning the Fundamentals of Instruction component. They will then be able to skip the Discipline-Specific component since they already have skills and knowledge acquired for First Aid and CPR. The next step in their training will be a brief in-class Teaching Experience.
The candidates who fit into category 2 are those who have previous experience as educators or Red Cross Water Safety Instructors. These candidates will skip the Fundamentals of Instruction component as they already have this knowledge. Instead, they will learn Red Cross delivery approaches that take up to 14.5 hours in a Discipline-Specific classroom component. After the participant finishes the Discipline-Specific component, they will complete a teaching experience requirement where they can lead small group sessions.

Candidates who successfully complete the course will be given a certificate that is valid for three years.

Olatundun Adeniji

EZZ 55678 was very detailed and patient.

Matt C

Ezz was great! He was a top notch instructor despite having hip pain. Made the course enjoyable, engaging, and left us very good nuggets of information that I will always remember. My only feedback for this program is not with the instructor, but with the company. I wanted to cancel a class that I had booked with three weeks notice and was told I would be charged $35. I think that policy makes sense with a last minute cancelation but not within a three week notice.
Something to consider to ensure customer satisfaction.

Tiffany Coll

Great course with Mohamed Ezz, very knowledgeable and informative.

Why First Aid & CPR Instructors are Important

Have you ever considered what a fascinating experience becoming a First Aid and CPR instructor with the Canadian Red Cross might be? Instructors have a significant influence on our society! First Aid & CPR certification is not just for medical professionals. Many other professions require their employees to be certified as well. Even people who spend most of their day in an office may be required to pass a test on these critical life-saving talents!

Being prepared for an emergency is key, and First Aid training covers a lot of useful information on how to act during different types of unforeseen events. Students can learn skills like CPR and how to care for someone who’s been stung by a bee.

Thanks to committed individuals (like you, we hope), our community may learn how to handle emergency situations in an appropriate manner. First Aid and CPR Instructors provide students with the confidence and abilities to assist their loved ones, friends, and coworkers in emergency situations! You can help protect your community by becoming a certified Canadian Red Cross First Aid & CPR instructor today!
