This update affects First Aid Instructors and Trainers

Effective Immediately

First Aid Trainers MUST complete the new Mandatory Update prior to conducting any First Aid Instructor Original or Recertification courses.

The Mandatory Update supersedes both the 2016 and 2019 Mandatory Updates, which will no longer be required of First Aid Instructors and Trainers in order to recertify.

Updated Resources

Instructors and Trainers can now access updated resources in the Member Resource Library on our website, or order them through our shop.

Effective immediately, previous First Aid Leadership resources are now retired and are no longer available in either our shop or our Member Resource Library. Effective immediately, the new resources must be used in all First Aid Leadership courses.

Previous First Aid Candidate resources (used to teach Basic and Intermediate First Aid courses) will continue to be available until August 31, 2024, and facilities may continue to conduct Lifesaving Basic and Intermediate First Aid Courses with those resources until then. Leading up to August 31, we encourage facilities to utilize any remaining stock of the previous resources and/or exchange them for new resources.
