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.

Informative & Helpful Class
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Shan13 weeks agoOur trainer was amazing. She was so patient and helpful with all of us. I provided 4 stars to Red Cross as you pay $130 for the course and they intentionally don't provide you a print copy of the Instructor's Manual, instead they provide a digital copy that is onyl available for a limited time.

CPR AED FIRST AID INSTRUCTOR
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.NatashaK1 month agoThe instructor was very knowledgeable. Each of us picked topics to demonstrate and complete with the others in the class. Come to this course prepared with your Handbook and ready to hit the ground running. The instructor was organized and went through the course preparing you the kind of instructor you should become. I didn’t know what to expect but I am glad I choose this course! Well taught and I feel very prepared.

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.

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.

Great Features, easy to follow
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Gibby68864 years agoI did this class as a Instructor Bridge Over from AHA Instructor. Also completed the BLS, First Aid/CPR/AED, and CPR/AED. I understand completing all the classes, but once I down load the AHA Instructor Credentials, I feel this should only be done once, not every class. Besides, I had to have a sign in and password before I could start. I didn't have to develop a new one for all three classes I took as a Bridge Over. With my account I feel the information should be saved to my account so it ... does not take as long to complete the requirements for the Bridge Over
