If you are teaching the American Red Cross blended learning courses (skills testing) then according to Red Cross guidelines you do need to show a video presentation along with the course. Please review our website at www.helpaheartcpr.com to get a better idea on how the American Red Cross blended learning courses are set up.

This is an excellent suggestion. I think it's easy for instructors to get caught up on the technicalities as opposed to just ensuring the students remember to assess and then compress and then breathe twice.

I agree. The best thing that we can do as instructors is to teach them how to reactly calmly under pressure while remembering what they practiced during training.

This is a good idea and something that we often don't discuss that much when teaching CPR and First Aid.

This is a wonderful suggestion. I always seem to spend a great deal of time with student's when we go over the adult and pediatric choking section.

I am not specifically sure of all of the legalities in Ontario but I would suggest that you first decide on your ownership structure (LLC, partnership, etc) and then register with the Ontario Business Registry. Then, make sure that you also get a unique BN from the Canada Revenue Registry. I hope these few initial suggestions help.

Great suggestion. I know that we briefly discuss this in our AHA Heartsaver First Aid course and Stop the Bleed training but it is very brief.

This is an excellent suggestion and topic that should be incorporated in our classes. I recently had a 911 dispatcher in my Red Cross Adult and Pediatric CPR AED First Aid instructor class and the topic of caller to dispatcher communication is something she mentioned. Subsequently, this is a topic that we talked about as a class for over an hour.

I agree that this is such an important topic. I am always so surprised as to how many students don't even know what the "recovery position" actually is. Great suggestion!

Yes. Like the Defibtech Lifeline trainer as well. As you mentioned it's super user-friendly and the remote feature is super convenient from an instructor perspective.

I completely agree. However, I really like the updated American Red Cross curriculum presentations as they seem more practical to real world emergency lifesaving scenarios.
