There are couple reasons why it might be beneficial to have CPR Instructor training.

1. Corporate: An organization that requires several employees to be CPR certified may find it more cost-effective to have an employee who can perform the training in-house.
2. Individual: An individual looking for an opportunity to earn extra income may like the flexibility and independent work of being a CPR Instructor. Instructors can make on average $300-$450 for a 4 hour class.

Read below to see the cost of becoming an instructor and determine what the best route is for you or your organization. 

 HeartSaver is a family of classes that include CPR/AED, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens. The AHA HeartSaver courses are formatted for individuals working in a non-healthcare field who may be required to have a certification for their job.

BLS stands for Basic Life Support which covers CPR/AED with advanced techniques for team rescuers. AHA BLS is targeted towards licensed healthcare professionals and healthcare students who are required by their state licensing board or employer to have a CPR certification. 

                        As a BLS Instructor, an individual can teach all classes which include:

                                                                · BLS PROVIDER

                                                          · HEARTSAVER CPR AED

                                                          · HEARTSAVER FIRST AID

                                               · HEARTSAVER BLOOD BORNE PATHOGENS

Provider Card

Before going through CPR Instructor training, individuals will need to have a CPR provider card in the discipline they want to teach. For example, someone who wants to take BLS Instructor Course will need to be certified as a BLS Provider. Someone who wants to be a HeartSaver Instructor must be certified as a HeartSaver CPR/AED and First Aid provider. These certifications must still be valid at the time of taking an instructor class. Expired certification cards can not be accepted.

A Red Cross certification or other non-AHA certifications are not accepted when becoming an AHA CPR Instructor. Please be sure your certification card is an authentic AHA card bearing the AHA seal and verifiable QR code.

Training Center Approval

Every AHA Instructor is required to align with an authorized AHA Training Center. Training Centers monitor and renew instructors certifications as well as provide instructors with certification cards to issue to students. Individuals must receive approval from a training center before taking a CPR Instructor Course. Individuals who sign up for pumpLife CPR Plus' Instructor course are automatically approved to align with our training center. 

Step #1

After completing the prerequisites, the next step is to take the AHA Online Instructor Essentials course. There is a separate course for BLS and HeartSaver candidates. This is not included in the cost of the instructor course students will need to purchase it on their own. Candidates must have a copy of the appropriate Instructor Manual as the online course asks very specific questions referencing charts and material that can only be found in the instructor manual.

After completing the online course, a certificate will be issued that instructors need to bring with them on the first day of their instructor course. Please contact pumpLife CPR Plus prior to purchasing the required Instructor Manual(s) and DVD's to ensure you are selecting the correct merchandise as most of these items are non refundable. AHA Instructor Materials can be purchased by one of AHA’s 2 distributors.

• WorldPoint
• Shop CPR

Step #2

The next step is to attend the CPR Instructor Course. The official agenda takes at least 8 hours. Training Centers may choose to add additional content to the agenda which in turn increases the class time.

At the end of class, candidates will be required to take a 25-question written exam which covers what they learned during the online and in-person portions of their course. An 84% or higher is required to pass.

Step #3

Instructor Candidates will need to teach a class while being monitored by their instructor or another AHA Training Center Faculty member within 6 months of taking the CPR instructor course.

It’s recommended to schedule monitoring as soon as possible so candidates have skills fresh in their mind.

During the monitoring, candidates are graded using the AHA Instructor Monitor Tool.

After successful completion, candidates are issued a CPR Instructor certification within 1 week.
