Become an instructor!
Shockwaves Medical Training is an Approved Training Provider of first aid courses by Premergency. Several times a year, Shockwaves runs instructor training courses for those interested in taking on the challenge. We are looking for people with some level of both emergency medical experience and a love for teaching.
STEPS TO BECOME AN INSTRUCTOR
1-Take a Premergency course
You must first take the 2 day in class standard first aid course to become familiar with the material and teaching style of Premergency courses. Some exemptions may be granted for those with recent first aid teaching experience.
2-Take the instructor training
Spend a weekend with a Premergency Instructor Trainer to learn about the program administration, the training site and policies & procedures. Time will also be spent practicing teaching in real scenarios. Some exemptions may be provided to those who have recent teaching experience.
3-Complete a co-teach
Once completed your instructor training course, you must complete a co-teach to refine your skills as an instructor and ensure you are confident to go out on your own.
Running courses
Once you are a certified instructor, courses may be assigned to you by Shockwave Medical Training or, you may have your own clients that you want to teach. It works either way, but regardless, quality standards for Premergency courses are maintained!
- Instructors must recertify every 3 years
