AHA Train-the-Trainer

The Fee to become an AHA Instructor Essentials Faculty (IEF) with the APHE TC is $499 per IEF.

You will receive a link to pay when your application is approved.

You will receive access to APHE's Instructor Essentials Faculty (IEF) Education. This online class explains what you will be teaching in your Train-the-Trainer classes.

After the agreement is signed and your education is complete, use the online form to "Set Up an AHA Instructor Class" (access is restricted until the education and agreement are complete).

As Instructor Candidates (new instructors who are not yet certified) sign up to participate in your Train-the-Trainer class, use our online form to "Report AHA Instructor Candidates."

 The Fee to certify a new instructor is $99 per Instructor Candidate.

Since your Instructor Candidates are aligning with the APHE TC, we have some communication with them during the certification process. APHE ensures that your Instructor Candidates have the resources that they need and that we have the correct documentation.

Teach your Instructor Candidates in the Train-the-Trainer class. Students arrive and sign in. You teach your class and submit the documentation, like every other class that you teach.

After the Train-the-Trainer class, you will schedule time with each Instructor Candidates to monitor his or her first class. After the Instructor Candidate has successfully been monitored, complete the "TF Monitor Form."

 After an Instructor Candidate successfully completes the monitoring and documentation (sent electronically), an Instructor eCard is sent by APHE. Your hard work is done, and another AHA Instructor is certified to teach lifesaving skills!
