What the instructor path covers

Coursework, then the instructor course

AHA Instructor Essentials online at your own pace, then the in-person BLS Instructor Course with one of our instructor trainers.

One monitored class

You teach a real BLS class while an instructor trainer observes. Pass it and your instructor card is issued through our Training Center.

Teach under our Training Center

Aligned with us, you schedule your own classes, and your students get official AHA eCards issued through our Training Center.

Can we hold a BLS instructor course in Pasadena?

Yes, onsite. With five or more candidates who each hold a current AHA BLS Provider card, we bring the instructor course to your hospital, lab, campus or office in Pasadena. Individuals can join our public Saturday course in West Covina instead.

How far is the West Covina course from Pasadena?

About 19.4 miles east on the I-210, roughly 28 minutes depending on traffic. The course runs Saturdays from 12:00 to 4:00 PM, which usually means lighter freeway traffic than a weekday commute.

Why would a Pasadena hospital train its own instructors?

Huntington Health runs a 534-bed hospital and the only Level II trauma center in the San Gabriel Valley, and every clinical role there carries a BLS card on a two-year cycle. In-house instructors let a department renew on its own schedule.

Do labs like Caltech and JPL need CPR instructors?

Research and field work is its own safety conversation. Having trained CPR and BLS instructors on a lab safety team means emergency response training can happen inside the organization instead of being scheduled around an outside provider.

What does the instructor path involve?

AHA Instructor Essentials online, the BLS Instructor Course with one of our instructor trainers, then one monitored class you teach yourself. Pass that and your instructor card is issued through our Training Center.

Can I build my own CPR business in Pasadena?

Yes. Once aligned under our Training Center you schedule your own classes, and our Launch package adds a branded website, online booking calendar, starter equipment, LLC setup help and a year of mentorship.

Pasadena specifics

Who needs BLS instructor certification in Pasadena

Pasadena combines the valley's only Level II trauma center with a national lab, a research university and a large community college. That is a lot of people whose roles call for current CPR and BLS cards.

  • Clinical teams at Huntington Health on W. California Blvd, a 534-bed hospital and the San Gabriel Valley's only Level II trauma center
  • Kaiser Permanente medical offices and staff based in Pasadena
  • Laboratory, field and safety staff at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
  • Students at Pasadena City College, one of the larger community colleges in the region
  • Engineering and security employers such as Parsons, Tetra Tech and Inter-Con Security

We do not have a Pasadena classroom, and at roughly 28 minutes on the 210 the drive is real. That is why the onsite course leads here: for five or more candidates we teach the instructor course at your Pasadena site.
