0041 - BLS Instructor Certification

The AHA’s BLS course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED.
Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

Course Overview: The Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructor Certification Course at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College equips participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to teach BLS courses effectively. This program is designed for healthcare professionals and emergency responders who wish to expand their expertise by training others in lifesaving techniques.

Eligibility Criteria: Participants must hold a current AHA BLS Provider Certification.

Certification: Upon successful completion of the course, participants will need to be monitored by the instructor- this will be an additional cost. The amount will depend on if you do your monitoring during one of our classes at Wiregrass, or require the instructor to travel to your workplace to monitor a class there. Once monitoring is complete, your instructor card will be issued and you’ll be able to teach classes once you have purchased the required equipment list for the courses you will teach.
