Why Should I Become an
Instructor?
Aside from the opportunity to help save lives, there are many benefits
to becoming an American Heart Association instructor.
From improving
chances for career advancement and supplementing your income to
enhancing the safety of the community you live
and work in, providing
courses has endless rewards.
The Heart of the Matter
Each year, cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
continue to claim the lives of 250,000 people before they reach the
hospital.
Currently, survival rates for cardiac arrests outside of the
hospital are less than 5 percent. Many of these lives could be saved
each year with a
stronger Chain of Survival, a proven four-step process
that, when used to treat victims of cardiac and respiratory emergencies,
greatly improves
survival. Each link in the chain identifies an early
intervention:
1 Early access —
recognizing the emergency and calling 9-1-1
2 Early CPR — to provide oxygen-rich blood to the heart and brain
3 Early defibrillation — using an AED (automated external defibrillator)
to shock the heart so it can resume a normal rhythm
4 Early advanced life support — emergency medical services (EMS)
responding quickly
As an American Heart Association instructor, YOU can help improve the
Chain of Survival.
Share in the Mission of
Saving Lives.
The American Heart
Association’s mission is to reduce disability and death from
cardiovascular disease. By leading lifesaving training, our instructors
play a crucial role in achieving our goal of reducing them by 25 percent
by 2010. Today, the American Heart Association’s emergency
cardiovascular
care training network consists of more than 3,500
training centers, 7,000 training sites and 260,000 instructors.
Instructors currently provide training for
eight million people a year.
The American Heart's goal is to increase this number to 20 million per
year by the year 2010. As an American Heart Association
instructor, you
can significantly contribute to our efforts to increase survival and
potentially save thousands of lives annually.

Forces with the Leader in Resuscitation Science…
Every five years, the American Heart Association, in collaboration with
leading international scientific councils, publishes the Guidelines for
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. These
guidelines establish treatment standards for CPR and emergency
cardiovascular care and are the basis for our training programs. As a
result, the American Heart Association is the recognized authority in
cardiovascular and resuscitation science. American Heart Association
training courses are backed by 30–40 years of extensive research and
offer the most current science and materials.
