The American Red Cross BLS Instructor Certification is essential for healthcare providers who wish to teach Basic Life Support courses to medical personnel. This certification ensures instructors can effectively train students in critical life-saving techniques, including adult and pediatric CPR, use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and relief of choking, following American Red Cross guidelines. Candidates must possess a current basic-level American Red Cross BLS certification or equivalent and be at least 16 years old by the end of the instructor course. The certification process involves completing online coursework followed by an in-person skills session. The blended learning format allows candidates to first complete the online portion at their own pace, followed by hands-on, in-person training. Upon successful completion, participants receive an official American Red Cross BLS Instructor certification, valid for two years. Renewal requires completion of an online recertification course and meeting minimum teaching requirements. This certification is vital for healthcare educators and training center instructors aiming to provide American Red Cross-compliant BLS courses.
