First Aid Instructors are required to take a 6 hour course for each discipline they teach (examples of diciplines include Red Cross Core, Professional Responder and Wilderness First Aid). This course will provide updated information and changes to the program. It also provides an in-depth study and discussion on various instructional techniques. Candidates will also demonstrate teaching and corrective feedback communication in skill stations, and receive peer feedback.
