The AHA Instructor Course teaches the methods needed to effectively instruct others in the BLS Provider and / or Heartsaver resuscitation courses. The American Heart Association requires that Instructors be at least 16 years of age to complete an instructor course. A BLS Instructor will be qualified to teach the BLS Provider Course as well as the Heartsaver CPR AED Course.  If you are planning on teaching First Aid you will also need to complete the AHA Heartsaver First Aid online program. The cost of this program is included within the class fee.
