If so, it’s easy to bridge to American Red Cross training courses.
1. Register for the appropriate bridge.
2. Fill out the online form and submit it with the required credentials.
3. Review program materials for the course.
4. Take the free online Instructor bridge course. No in-person class is required.

Great experience/ More time needed
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.MC 20253 days agoThe course was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable and had 20+ years experience. I reviewed all materials prior to the class which definitely helped. At times it it was difficult to understand what the instructor was trying to have with us perform. Perhaps a demo video of their expectations would’ve been helpful. We were expected to use our lunchtime to prepare for our teaching presentation, which many of us did not know how to do until we observed the first presenter. Class ... went over by 20 minutes. The administration part of the course was quickly reviewed and wished we would’ve spent more time on that portion but overall it was a great class and would recommend it.

Informative & Helpful Class
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Shan13 weeks agoOur trainer was amazing. She was so patient and helpful with all of us. I provided 4 stars to Red Cross as you pay $130 for the course and they intentionally don't provide you a print copy of the Instructor's Manual, instead they provide a digital copy that is onyl available for a limited time.
