Join me as I lead you through the process of becoming an American Heart Association CPR instructor. If you've been searching online for how to do so, you're not the only one. Did you know that you can choose to become a BLS instructor or a Heartsaver instructor? Did you know that it matters which training site or center you use to issue your cards and that it can affect your bottom line? They're big decisions that could use a little guidance. Don't worry- I made all the mistakes so you don't have to, and I'll explain each and every one.
First we'll go over the choices you should make as you locate a CPR instructor class, how to acquire the materials you'll need to teach, and, best of all, how to wisely avoid pitfalls along the way that can reduce your profit. You don't have much healthcare knowledge? No problem. Need a low cost investment? This is it! Want to do this part time for extra cash, twice a year for fun, or full time instead of working for a boss? You can do that! Make easy money teaching satisfying material that can help save someone's life while also providing a great secondary income on any schedule you choose.
Your potential clients are everywhere! Who needs to be certified in CPR? Oh, just all healthcare professionals with licenses, those without licenses, everyone who works in a school from the teachers to the lunch ladies, gyms and athletic centers such as YMCAs, daycares, flight attendants, lifeguards, babysitters, parents... and they need to recertify every two years! Your customers want to recertify with someone who is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient- that can be you and my class shows you how to do it flawlessly.
Anyone can become a CPR instructor and run a successful business teaching classes once they've taken my class. Let's get started!
NOTE: This class does not certify you as an AHA instructor! It teaches you everything you need to know so that you don't overpay and make the mistakes that I did.
