INSTRUCTOR RESOURCES

The following resources provide information where AHA Instructors can find the AHA documents and forms they need for BLS, Heartsaver, ACLS and PALS certification classes. There are also some general forms that can be used by any AHA Instructor for internal purposes. Written exams can be obtained by contacting your primary AHA Training Center.
Remember: Instructors are expected to regularly check the AHA Instructor Network for the most current information and latest updates. You must log in to the Instructor Network at least once every six months to remain active.  You will be deactivated by the network if it has been longer that six months.
For those interested in becoming a BLS and/or HeartSaver CPR Instructor, learn more here.

AHA Instructor documents

​Instructor Candidate Application
​
This application is required to be filled out by anyone wishing to become an AHA Instructor (HeartSaver, BLS, ACLS or PALS) before attending an instructor course.
Instructor Monitoring Form
This form is used initially when an instructor is completing their instructor course and being monitored teaching their first class. It's also used every 2 years to monitor an instructor again as part of the renewal process for the instructor certification.
Instructor Records Transfer Request
When an instructor wants to align with a different AHA Training Center, they will need to fill out this form. Afterwards, the new Training Center Coordinator (TCC) will sign it accepting the instructor, and the form will then be sent to the old TCC who has 30 days to transfer all of the instructor's records.

Instructor Renewal Checklist
As part of the instructor certification renewal process which occurs every 2 years, this form must be filled and signed the instructor's Training Center Coordinator or Training Center Faculty performing the renewal. It records the instructor's current contact information, previous teaching history, and has a checklist of the other required steps for renewal.
BLS Instructor Candidate Workbook
The Instructor Candidate Workbook is used during the BLS Instructor course. It contains important information about the AHA, standards, and has frequently asked questions in the back.
Heartsaver Instructor Candidate Workbook
