[The One-Day CPR/BLS, AED, and First Aid Instructor Certification Course™]*

Have you ever wondered what else you could do as a nurse? Are you thinking of starting a business? Are you tired of being overworked and underpaid as a nurse? Have you ever thought of having your own training company? Why not? It’s fun, easy, and lucrative. Enjoy being a nurse again and earn $100 to $200/hour. The first step to owning and operating a CPR and first aid training company is receiving instructor certification.

This One-Day CPR / BLS, AED and Basic First Aid Instructor Certification Course includes basic life support and first aid instructor manuals, instructor teaching materials (roster forms, check-off lists, tests, answer keys), handouts, automated external defibrillation (AED) simulator demonstration, and verification of cognitive and psychomotor proficiency in BLS and first aid.
