Prerequisites Review
The instructor course is an intensive course for those individuals who have already successfully completed the discipline-specific provider course. This course is designed to train instructor candidates to conduct provider and update courses on the latest AHA guidelines and skills set for the specific discipline being taught. The role and scope of practice of healthcare providers vary greatly globally, so there are no profession-specific guidelines for becoming an AHA instructor in a specific discipline. Instructor candidates should exemplify integrity, demonstrate strong ethics, communicate clearly, and model a dedication to quality training. Instructor candidates must meet certain requirements before taking the instructor course. Before attending the PALS classroom portion of an instructor course, all instructor candidates must
- Instructors must be at least 18 years of age and licensed or certified in a healthcare occupation where the skills are within the provider's scope of practice
- per Key Medical must have RN, Paramedic, RCP, PA, or MD
- Be aligned with an AHA Training Center
- Have a current/official AHA PALS Provider course completion card
- Be proficient in the skills of PALS
- Complete precourse assignments
- Complete an Instructor Candidate Application - Will be sent electronically to be completed during Part 1 of the Instructor Course
This instructor course has 2 parts.
Part 1 is Zoom, Remote
Part 2 is live classroom portion, which you will have your skills monitored and function as a lead instructor with students.
The goal of dividing the course into online and classroom-based portions is to maximize in-class learning and make sure that candidates get as much hands-on practice time with an experienced faculty member as possible.
