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.

Perfect transition to high levels of service
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.AndiF4 years agoI had completed the CPR/AED/First Aid instructor course, and I needed to add the Bridge to train different levels of staff. This was a simple and effective way to upgrade my certification. Access to course materials were made available once I uploaded my current Instructor Cert. You will need to poke around to find the resources needed for the course. Give yourself some time for preparation to train the course as there is a learning curve involved. Nothing too complicated, but it will require a ... bit of effort and time to navigate the Red Cross system. It is easy to master. The search bar works wonders.

Excelllent Instructor
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.JBerglund6 years agoI took the BLS instructor course last week and could not be more impressed with the instructor. I have been BLS (or equivalent) certified for at least 12 years and this course put together my previous experience and knowledge and made me very comfortable to teach it in the future.

W&RFA instructor - It taught me a lot
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Chiago3 years agoThe course got me my instructor certificate. Online learning is not the best mode for me personally. I did learn a lot and the course made me aware that I need more study. There's way more that I need to know than can be covered in such a course. So, part of it is an inspiration to regularly review the class materials.
