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 videos and useful information
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Chrisintheburg2 weeks agoI found the information very helpful. I especially liked the videos that developed a “critical eye”. It was very helpful to learn good communication techniques when correcting skills.

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.

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.

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.
