Instructor Alignment
Requirements for Instructor Alignment
An instructor candidate must complete all requirements and align with an approved primary AHA TC that is authorized by the AHA to teach in that territory before teaching a course other than the initial monitored course. Only instructors aligned with a TC are authorized to teach courses and issue course completion cards.
The following are requirements for instructor primary alignment:
- No fees are paid to the AHA for this alignment. Any fees charged for instructor alignment are solely at the discretion of the TC. There is a $50 alignment fee every year.
- The TCC may require a meeting with or monitoring of the instructor applicant before acceptance. The course monitoring will be done by designated TF. The TCC decides whether to accept the instructor for alignment. This decision is final.
- TCs may cancel the alignment (deactivate) of an instructor with their TC who fails to act in accordance with AHA course policy or TC policy.
- TCs are not obligated to accept all instructors who apply for alignment. The TC has the sole right to determine which instructors to keep on its roster based on its criteria.
- The primary TC is responsible for instructors’ adherence to AHA guidelines.
Becoming an American Heart CPR Instructor: A Life-Saving Journey
Being an American Heart CPR instructor is more than just a role—it’s a vital mission. Here’s why you should consider taking up this impactful responsibility:
Save Lives: As an instructor, you’ll equip others with the knowledge and skills to perform CPR effectively. By doing so, you multiply the chances of survival during critical moments.
Empower Communities: Imagine a world where everyone knows how to respond during cardiac emergencies. By teaching CPR, you empower individuals, families, and communities to take action swiftly and confidently.
Career Fulfillment: Beyond the rewarding feeling of making a difference, being a CPR instructor enhances your professional journey. You become a beacon of preparedness and resilience.
Health Advocacy: Educating others about CPR isn’t just about technique; it’s about promoting heart health awareness. You contribute to a healthier society by spreading knowledge.
Confidence Booster: Knowing that you’ve equipped others to save lives builds your own confidence. You’ll be ready to handle emergencies calmly and effectively.
So, join the ranks of American Heart CPR instructors—be a hero, a mentor, and a life-saver.
Why Everyone Should Be Trained to Give CPR
CPR saves lives—just not as many as it should. Far too few Americans know how to perform it. When people experience heart attacks in public or at home, there’s often no one around who knows how to help them. With each passing minute, the chances of surviving a heart attack decline. In fact, only about one in 10 cardiac arrest patients survive. Becoming a CPR instructor isn’t just a career move; it’s a life-saving endeavor. By training others, you empower them to act swiftly during emergencies, potentially doubling or tripling someone’s chance of survival. Let’s make CPR knowledge widespread and accessible to all!
