Red Cross Professional Responder Instructor (FRI/EMRI/BLSI)

🚨 Become a Certified Emergency Medical Responder, First Responder, or BLS Instructor — 

Looking to teach advanced, professional-level first aid programs? Our 2-day Canadian Red Cross Professional Responder Instructor (PRI) course is the final step toward becoming a certified instructor in Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), First Responder (FR), or Basic Life Support (BLS).

This intensive format is designed for experienced responders who have already completed their Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) and skills evaluation before the course begins.

🧭 Here’s How It Works:

✅ Before the Course

• Complete FOI Online (approx. 8 hours) – Learn core instructional strategies and teaching techniques

• Submit Skills Evaluation – You’ll demonstrate your EMR, FR, or BLS competency before class begins

• Ensure your participant-level certification is current and valid for the stream you're certifying to teach

*If you do not have a current FOI or Skills Evaluation, please register with us through the "instructor programs" drop down first*

👨🏫 Day 1: Teaching Professional-Level First Aid

🎓 Post-Course: Teaching Experience (you’ve got 1 year!)

You’ll co-teach a live Red Cross course with a certified Instructor Trainer or Teaching Experience Supervisor in your chosen stream (EMR, FR, or BLS). Once approved, you’ll receive your official Red Cross Instructor Certification for that level.
