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.

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.

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.

CPR/1st Aid/AED Instructor Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Classes3 weeks agoThe instructor was a straight shooter so you knew what you were going to learn and what the expectation was going into the course. He was knowledgeable and personable. His experiences helped him guide us on how to be the best instructors that we can be. I am excited to be partnered with the Red Cross and to teach others this important skill.

Glad I took the class, ready to instruct
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Koontzie1 month agoKallee did an excellent job reviewing information and guiding us as needed. She made sure we are setup to go out and instruct with success. Instructor class over all very good and knowledgeable. I don’t know if it’s just me or the amount of emails or their message, but I felt it was a test, but it is more a workshop and assessment. Review materials, but not necessary to memorize.

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.
