Brampton Instructor Development Transfer Course

There are two ways for candidates with previous experience to qualify for the Instructor Development Program:

If candidates fall into the 1st category, they will already have some knowledge of First Aid from other organizations and can apply what they know to the Red Cross program. However, they will still have to finish a Fundamentals of Instruction component and pass prerequisites, after which their skills will be evaluated. Candidates will then engage in a short, in-class teaching experience.
Category 2 candidates will be instructed on Red Cross delivery approaches for a specific type of classroom, which is up to 14.5 hours long.
