Easy Bridging to Become
a Red Cross Instructor
Do you or your Instructors, Instructor Trainers and/or Training Center Faculty hold a current Instructor certification from a comparable training organization such as the American Heart Association (AHA) or the Health & Safety Institute (HSI)? 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.
Easy Crossover or Reentry Courses to become a Red Cross Lifeguarding Instructor
Do you have Instructors and/or Instructor Trainers certified with another equivalent training program and interested in teaching Red Cross Lifeguarding Programs? It’s easy to get trained by completing an abbreviated blended learning crossover course designed for Instructors to achieve Red Cross instructor certification to teach. For more information, visit the Instructor Candidates Page on the Red Cross Learning Center.
If you are unable to find a course in your area, please reach out to your local aquatic facility.

Great class but lengthy for a bridge
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.MissK3 months agoI actually thought the content was very thorough. The videos were helpful, the way they demonstrated different instructional concepts. I also thought the videos where you had to pick out what the student was doing wrong in the skills checks were great. The one criticism I would have is that I feel like it could be shorter for a bridge. By definition these are people who are already instructors with another agency and have aleady taken an instructor course and likely are teaching. The ... content is excellent and I think for a brand new instructor it would be excellent.

Was confusing at first
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.mzcheryl5 years agoGetting started is a little tedious but once you get going it is ok. It took me a week between credential upload to take the class as i was waiting for a go ahead email. I finally went into the website and discovered that my credentials were good and i could take the class. Uploading credentials for every class you want to take is kind of a pain in the butt. Don't try to start anything just before a holiday weekend. I work weekend so i thought it was perfect time to get started, not. Uploaded ... certification Thursday evening and had to wait until Tuesday to be approved. Website stated Monday the holiday closed but nothing about Friday. I was dissapointed.

Video, books easy to understand
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.WfrSteve1 year agoThe course is self paced on the computer which is nice for working adults. For me course was easy. I've been a Wilderness First Responder. WFR for 32 years. EMT for 9.5 years The ability to bridge is great for people who have knowledge, experience with wilderness medicine. The Red Cross needs to update out dated techniques.
