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.

Saving Lives!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.J3SS064 days agoI recently completed the CPR Instructor Course. The course was well-structured, combining theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on training. It not only enhanced my CPR skills but also gave me the tools and confidence to effectively teach others. The instructor was amazing and made the day go by fast with making learning fun and keeping everyone involved and on their toes!

Great instructor
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.CynB4 weeks agoThe emails that arrived towards the end before the class, had lists of things that we needed to bring to class. It was annoying that they added two more things a week before the class and come to find out we didn't need them. More money was spent that didn't need to happen. Also, I tried to use the chat option to help me since the office was closed. The chat kept giving me a new number and ignored the fact I had a number already for the same problem I was having. And secondly, chat people were ... hanging up on me. Not sure if they were just getting off or what, but I was on it for a length of time and my problem was never solved.

Great class, enjoyed it
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.ethandclark5 years agoWanted something a little more in depth on first aid items, I know this is not a first aid class but it made me look up some things in the course book and gained me knowledge for sure. I feel more prepared to perform first aid as well as teach it now.

It was fine
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.SuzyA4 years agoNot super interesting; a lot of reviewing the manual and answering questions. I think a few videos showing skills or how to teach the skills would have been helpful and made the course more interesting.

Good practice session!
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Anonymous3 years agoGiven the format (Teams video), this was a good option. Obviously face-to-face hands-on practice and coaching would have been better.
