At Colorado Cardiac CPR we support the teaching of life-saving skills, as well as the learning. Do you have a passion for first aid and/or CPR? Are you a teacher and are looking to expand your classroom skills and credentials over the summer? Have you always wanted to teach? Do you feel like you have excitement to share about the skills learned in our classrooms? Becoming a CPR, first aid, or basic life support instructor in Colorado might be right for you!

Here are just a few of the reasons you should consider getting trained to be a first aid, basic life support, or CPR instructor:

• You can be responsible for more lives saved

The most compelling reason to become an instructor is also the simplest. Beyond just getting certified yourself, you can “pay forward” the crucial skills you’ve learned and teach others. Doing your part to increase the number of people certified in CPR/first aid allows many more lives to be saved and the health and wellness of more people to be improved.

• Expand your own skill set

When you transform from being a student in our classes to teaching the classes to others, you reinforce your skills and grow in trust in your own abilities. Not only will your CPR and first aid skills improve, but you’ll learn valuable communication strategies and teaching tools that can benefit many areas of your life.

• Fun and flexible career opportunities

  Whether you choose being an instructor as your full-time job, or as a part-time endeavor, you’ll enjoy the freedom to teach when and where you choose. The instructors we certify often go on to teach in schools, healthcare facilities, community organizations, other businesses, and more. The demand is high for qualified instructors, and we’re ready to set you up for success.

• You’ll feel pride in what you do

  Knowing you’ve equipped your students with the skills to intervene in emergency or high-stress situations is fulfilling and rewarding. You’ll witness your students gain confidence and knowledge, all the while knowing you’re ultimately improving the lives of many people.

We offer a wide variety of instructor classes including Basic Life Support (BLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Heartsaver CPR and First Aid, and more.
