The BLS Instructor Essentials Course is an intensive course for instructor candidates who have already successfully completed the BLS Provider Course. The role and scope of practice of healthcare providers can vary greatly, so there are no profession-specific guidelines for becoming an AHA Instructor in a specific discipline. Instructor candidates should exemplify integrity, demonstrate strong ethics, communicate clearly, and model a dedication to quality of training.
The Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructor Essentials Course is designed for those who want to teach both BLS and Heartsaver® courses.
This is a Blended Learning Course. An online assignment must be completed prior to attending the in-person skills session. That can be found on the AHA’s website here: https://elearning.heart.org/course/801
