Recertification:

To be re-certified you will have to proof that the following is in place, so please read below and show to the Instructor Trainer before class start:

You must have taught three courses in the last three years of which two can be a Standard First Aid with CPR, but then at least one course needs to be at the level that re-certification is wanted for. For example if you have taught two SFA in the last three years and one First Responder course. This means you will be able to re-certify for First Responder Instructor. If the highest level was the EMR course, re-certification can be obtained for Emergency Medical Responder Instructor level.
