“You teach people from all walks of life. In the same class, I’ve met people from construction, retail, grandparents who want to learn because they have grandkids…Not only am I teaching all of them, but I am constantly learning from their experiences.” 

-Joe Chan, SJA Instructor for eight years

Becoming an Instructor

All St. John Ambulance Instructors must complete our Instructor Development (IDP) Program. This program consists of five days in-class, focused on adult education theory and facilitation skills. Following the in-class portion, instructor candidates will be paired with experienced instructors to team-teach to further develop their skills. To qualify for this program, interested applicants must hold a Standard First Aid + CPR-C  certification, taken in the previous 6 months.
