Instructor opportunities

Our college is approved by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety to deliver all 3 levels of First Aid. We have in-house Instructors, and we also have 3rd-Party Instructors. 3rd-Party Instructors do not work for the college as an employee or contractor. They have there own businesses either as Sole Proprietors, Corporations, or within the business/non-profit community.

We can offer instructor-training for those interested and qualified. This means that you need (at a minimum) the level of first-aid that you wish to teach. For example, if you would like to teach Intermediate (Standard) First Aid and CPR independently, you would need both the Instructor Course, and you would need current Intermediate First Aid certification. We at the college prefer that you have the level above. Having current Advanced First Aid certification ( or greater like EMR, RN, etc.) would allow you to teach both the basic and intermediate levels of first aid without any challenges, assuming of course that you also have instructor training credentials.

Instructor training credentials - This means that either we train you as an instructor "from the ground up", or you come to us with credentials from another approved training provider like the Red Cross or St. John's. You would need to complete orientation and team teaching, but otherwise the training and credentialing is quite straightforward.
