Course Description
The AHA instructor course is designed to teach the methods needed to effectively instruct others in resuscitation courses. Instructor candidates must be at least 16 years of age.

Course Prerequisite
1. All prospective participants in an instructor course must have a current provider status in the discipline the candidate wishes to teach. Heartsaver instructors can only teach AHA Heartsaver courses. They cannot teach the BLS Healthcare Provider Course. BLS instructors can teach the Healthcare Provider Course as well as all other AHA Heartsaver courses.
2. All prospective participants in an instructor course must complete the AHA core instructor course. This is a 7-8 hour computer modular study that is completed independently on a home computer. The booklet and CD will be sent to the instructor candidate in the mail once registration is complete; therefore early registration for this course is strongly recommended.
3. All prospective participants must bring a copy of their current certification card and the completed certificate from the instructor core course to the instructor class.

Post Course Requirements
1. The instructor must align with an AHA Training Center. In order to purchase certification cards for students, an instructor must align with a training center. Certification cards cannot be purchased independently. Alignment with a training center is simply an affiliation in order to track paperwork and card distribution. The training center is not an employer of the instructor.
2. The instructor must be monitored by Training Center Faculty with whom they are affiliated with. The instructor’s certification card will be issued by the training center they are aligned with once their first course has been monitored.
3. The instructor must teach a minimum of 4 classes in a 2 year period in the discipline that they are certified with in order to maintain their instructor status.
4. All instructors are independent agents and must provide their own equipment and AHA teaching materials (including books for students) per the recommended AHA guidelines in order to teach classes.
