Certified First Aid Trainer
The Certified First Aid Trainer course delivers training in first aid instruction, emergency response, and OSHA compliance. Offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals, it prepares trainers to teach CPR, hazard response, and first aid skills, building safer workplaces across many key industries.
What is the Certified First Aid Trainer?
The Certified First Aid Trainer certification from the American Institute of Safety Professionals develops the instructional competency to deliver first aid and CPR training courses. First aid training requires a unique combination of medical knowledge, instructional skill, and practical demonstration ability: the trainer must explain physiological concepts accessibly, demonstrate techniques precisely, manage hands-on practice sessions safely, assess competency through practical demonstration, and maintain the calm authority that builds learner confidence in skills they hope never to use. The curriculum covers first aid training scope and standards, CPR instruction methodology (adult, child, infant — demonstration, practice, feedback), AED training delivery, choking response instruction, wound and bleeding control instruction, burn, fracture, and medical emergency instruction, scenario-based training design (realistic scenarios that test decision-making, not just technique), competency assessment for first aid (practical demonstration assessment criteria, pass/fail determination), course management (scheduling, equipment, manikins, supplies, documentation), maintaining trainer competency (staying current with guidelines, recertification), and the legal and liability considerations for first aid trainers. All training is delivered 100 percent online through leading delivery platforms and the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS). On successful completion, you receive an American Institute of Safety Professionals certificate, a professional wallet card, and an official transcript, all employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
