Red Cross Instructor Courses

Once an Instructor Program is completed - Each new Red Cross Instructor will need to chose to seek employment with a pre-existing Red Cross Training Partner to offer courses. For information on how to become your own Red Cross Training Partner, please go directly to www.redcross.ca/partner as Red Cross is permitted at any time to put a moratorium on the number of new Training Partner applications.
