The American Heart Association is always seeking professionals to conduct training in First Aid, CPR, AED, and Basic Life Support. However, you do not have to be a professional healthcare provider to teach. If you are passionate about saving lives, motivated to facilitate learning, feel comfortable in group settings, and find it easy to make complex concepts understandable to others, you may be a perfect candidate.

At Discite Institute, we make becoming an American Heart Association instructor quick, easy, and affordable (with no hidden fees that other places tend to charge). We are able to walk you through the process from start to finish. You will be accepted by us, at our Training Site, and our aligned Training Center. If you do not already have the required Provider Certification, we will provide you with the training and certification needed prior to your instructor course (additional fee may apply). We provide you with access to the online Instructor Essentials Course, and we provide you with the hands-on classroom session (distance learning available for the hands-on portion). After your training, you will be monitored while you teach a hands-on session.

After you become an instructor, you will have access to the most current emergency cardiovascular care science, course updates, training resources, and tools through the online AHA Instructor Network. You will be able to post class dates and times on the AHA public website to reach more students, for free. You will also have ongoing support and assistance for the life of your affiliation with Discite Institute.

Note: Alignment under Discite Institute does not represent or imply affiliation as an employee, partner, licensee, or franchisee of Discite Institute. Alignment represents a client-customer relationship, wherein the instructor is the customer.
