   • Duration: Approximately 4 hours

Instructor Certification Renewal Guidelines

AHA Instructor Cards are valid for two years and have no grace period if they expire. To renew your certification, the following must be completed before expiration:

1. Complete the Instructor Essentials Course

   • This is required for each discipline you teach.
   • Purchase and complete the online course if you haven’t already.
   • Print and present the completion certificate to your Instructor or TCF.

2. Maintain Current Provider Status

   • Option 1: Hold a current provider card.
   • Option 2: Demonstrate exceptional provider skills to a TCF and pass the provider exam.
     • If this route is chosen, the results must be documented on the Instructor/TCF Renewal Checklist.
     • A new provider card is optional but not required.

3. Earn 4 Instructor Credits Every 2 Years

   • Credits can be earned through:
     • Teaching classroom courses (1 credit per course).
     • Conducting the classroom portion of a blended-learning course (1 credit per 2-hour HeartCode BLS session or each day of Heartsaver skills sessions).
     • Conducting BLS and AED skills testing during a PALS, PEARS, or ACLS course (1 credit per course).
   • Verification: Submit all past rosters through Enrollware before the class.

4. Attend Required Updates

   • Updates may include new course content, methodologies, or regional/national AHA updates within the last 2 years.

5. Complete Monitoring Requirements

   • Be monitored while teaching a full class before your instructor status expires.
   • Important: The first monitoring session after the initial instructor course does not count toward this requirement.

6. Maintain a Quality Score

   • Ensure your Individual Instructor Quality Score by discipline meets the AHA benchmark of 85 or higher for the duration of your expiring card.
   • Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis with TCF recommendations and TCC approval.

Additional Notes

• No Grace Period: If your instructor certification expires, you must repeat the full instructor course.
