MEDIC First Aid International Instructor Development Course

These training courses are specifically designed to help businesses comply with workplace first aid requirements. The instructional design of MEDIC First Aid training programs uses a video-based, instructor-facilitated, systematic approach that helps to ensure consistent training.

Training materials include award-winning DVDs featuring realistic scenarios filmed in occupational settings to keep learners interested and training relevant. Classroom and blended learning elements, print and digital student handbooks with skill guides are designed to help transform knowledge and skill in a consistent, positive, and stable learning environment over 5 days that builds confidence and supports retention.

MEDIC First Aid programs conform to national and international standards and are based on the same scientific guidelines and treatment recommendations used by the American Heart Association (AHA), European Resuscitation Council (ERC), International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), British Resuscitation Council (BRC) and others as well as American Red Cross (ARC) for course development. MEDIC First Aid is consistent with OSHA’s best practices for first aid training programs.

Delivered over 5 days, our First Aid, CPR and AED course is tailored to meet the needs of anyone wanting to become a first aid instructor.
