Instructor Training

Instructor courses train individuals to be able to teach the course(s) within a specific program. Most Red Cross instructor courses are in a blended learning format featuring an online introduction to the instructor course and an in-person portion. The online portion typically includes a review of the Red Cross mission and services, an overview of the training program and materials, and an introduction to the tools and resources available to instructors. Successful completion of the online introduction is required prior to attending the first session of the in-person portion of the instructor course.

The in-person portion is led by a certified Red Cross Instructor Trainer (IT) in the specific program area. It includes a pre-course skills assessment, a review of the training program and materials, and features one or more practice-teaching assignments, which allow instructor candidates the opportunity to practice teaching sections of the course they will be teaching.

The cost for this training is $250.00.
