How to become a CPR instructor?

To become a CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) instructor, you need a high school diploma, and you need to complete various training and certifications. As an aspiring CPR instructor, you first need a basic CPR certification, such as those offered by the American Heart Association or the Red Cross. The Red Cross requires you to pass a pre-instructor exam and a self-guided course before completing instructor training. The AHA limits the number of instructors it trains, so check for information online before pursuing their certification.
