  3. If you feel that you are uncertain about skill proficiency it is strongly recommended that you take the Standard First Aid Renewal Course.

Policies for the Teaching Experience (also Teaching Experience Only)

  1. Breath for Life expects commitment to the Teaching Experience. Cancellations will be regarded as a fail and will jeopardize your completion of the Instructor Course.
  2. If you cancel out of your Teaching Experience Course date, there will be a charge of $250.00 plus tax, to rebook – this is over and above the monies paid for the Skill Development Session.
  3. Breath for Life expects full participation and commitment to the process. By becoming a Red Cross Instructor you are becoming an ambassador of the Canadian Red Cross. Your preparation reflects your commitment.
  4. If you do the Teaching Experience through a different company, other than the IDC where you took your Instructor Course, it is on you to ensure that the Instructor is TES certified. If you do not, and you do the Teaching Experience, it does not count as a valid experience.
  5. If the Teaching Experience Supervisor is not convinced that your preparation is sufficient to facilitate a class, you may be asked to leave. This will result in an unsuccessful attempt at your Teaching Experience.
  6. As per the Instructor Development Program, Lesson Plans must be completed two weeks prior to the Teaching Experience date.  If this is not completed your first teaching experience will be regarded as a fail and a $250.00 + tax will be required, to rebook into another Teaching Experience.
  7. Mandatory meetings with your Teaching Experience Supervisor must be held. These will be scheduled two weeks prior to the Teach Experience date, and one week prior to the Teaching Experience date. It is not up to the TES to contact you.
  8. If Breath for Life hosts your Teaching Experience, you are required to email the office with dates that correspond to the dates posted in the Standard First Aid course.
