Location:	SCCAD HQ - SALT RIVER
Class Price:	$150.00

This Heartsaver CPR Instructor Course is designed to prepare individuals to become instructors for "Heartsaver CPR" classes (not BLS for Healthcare Provider classes)

Make sure your current provider card reads, "Heartsaver." If it is labeled "BLS," this is not the course you need.

Course Prerequisites: 

• Be accepted into an AHA Training Center prior to coming to class. Authorization must be granted by the TC's Coordinator on a case-by-case basis. Complete this FORM & bring it to class. To align with SCCAD, you must meet very specific criteria (see below)**
• A current AHA CPR Provider card
• Registered with the AHA Atlas Website.
• Complete Heartsaver Instructor Essentials Online course. Bring completion certificate to class.

If you have a "Heartsaver" CPR provider card you will be issued a Heartsaver instructor card upon successful completion of all course requirements. At that time, you will only be authorized to teach Heartsaver courses.

Instructor candidates are responsible for acquiring their own instructor manuals. THE MANUALS MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE CLASSROOM SESSION IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN AHA CPR INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION CARD. 

The required books for a Heartsaver instructor are:

• Heartsaver Instructor Essentials Candidate Workbook

• Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Instructor Manual 2020 - Item #: 20-1130.    ISBN: 978-1-61669-831-7
• Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED Student Workbook 2020 - Item #: 20-1126 ISBN: 978-1-61669-827-0  (optional)
• Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Student Workbook 2020 - Item #: 20-1124 ISBN: 978-1-61669-825-6  (optional)

• Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Instructor Manual 2020 -  Item #: 20-1122   ISBN: 978-1-61669-823-2

Manuals may be purchased at ShopCPR.Heart.org 

Course Monitoring: 

Within 6 months following the successful completion of the Instructor course, the instructor candidate must be monitored teaching by Training Center Faculty (The TC may require additional monitoring, if needed).

Course recognition is 2 years from the date of the classroom portion of the course. The instructor card supersedes the provider card.  

**Please note:  If you do not plan to teach primarily within St. Charles County (i.e., approx. 90% of your classes), you will need to align as an instructor with another AHA training center prior to attending the class. When you come to class, please have your Training Center's address and the name of their TC Coordinator, and bring the completed instructor candidate application form found HERE.

 INSTRUCTORS ALIGNED WITH RC HEALTH SERVICES: If RC Health Services is your Primary AHA Training Center, you cannot attend this instructor course and must contact your TC Coordinator to find an alternative location. We apologize for the inconvenience.
