All American Red Cross Instructors must:

- Pass a Pre-Course session (Basic FA, CPR/AED) and
- Complete the Fundamentals of Instructor Training (FIT) course
The Pre-Course and FIT are usually Included within the Instructor Training Course which then takes approximately 24 hours to complete. Depending on the Instructor Trainer this is typically divided into six 4hr evening classes or three 8hr day classes.
The cost of the Instructor Training Course is $150 which includes all your instructor material.
We currently schedule Instructor Training classes once every quarter.
