- Nurses and health educators who already teach patients and new hires.

FAQ
Red Cross instructor training in Rancho Cucamonga: common questions
What do I need before Red Cross instructor training?
Current skills in the course you plan to teach, shown with a current Red Cross certificate or a skills check before the instructor session. If you need the certificate first, take the course in our Rancho Cucamonga classroom.
Is there online work before the class?
Yes. You complete the Red Cross online portion at your own pace before the in-person session, so class time goes to teaching practice.
What can I teach after the course?
The Red Cross courses your instructor certification covers, such as Adult and Pediatric First Aid CPR AED, taught through a Red Cross Training Provider.
How long does Red Cross instructor certification last?
Two years. Keep teaching and complete the Red Cross updates to stay current.
Should I become a Red Cross instructor or an AHA BLS instructor?
It depends on who you will teach. Red Cross First Aid CPR AED suits schools, workplaces and the public. AHA BLS suits healthcare staff and students, since programs such as Chaffey College nursing ask for an AHA BLS card.
