Teacher Training. The ACT Foundation organizes teacher training workshops for schools during the initial program set- up. Following program set- up, ACT is happy to assist where possible with arranging for teacher refresher training and for the training of new teachers.
The Teacher Training Program prepares teachers to teach the four- hour Heart Saver Level A CPR and AED course to students. The CPR agency that provides the initial Teacher Workshop is encouraged to act as a long- term “mentor” for teachers in the ACT High School CPR & AED Program. The Teacher Training Program builds on the success of the original Ottawa program. It was developed by the ACT Foundation with guidance from CPR Instructor Trainers from St. John Ambulance, the Heart & Stroke Foundation, the Red Cross, high school teachers and school board curriculum consultants. High school teachers interested in extending their CPR instructor qualifications to teach beyond the school program and more extensively in the community should consult their local CPR agency for details on additional training requirements. This program will provide teachers with a Heartsaver Level A CPR and AED certification, along with teaching tools and resources to teach the Heartsaver Level A program to students.

Does a teacher who is already trained in Level A CPR and AED need to take it again or can they just attend the Teacher Training Session in the afternoon? A.

Given issues surrounding skill retention and guideline/protocol updates, CPR agencies recommend that all teachers attend the Level A course taught in the morning.
The course will act as a refresher for those previously trained, in preparation for the Teacher Training Session in the afternoon. Q. Does a teacher who is already a current, certified CPR Instructor or Instructor Trainer need to attend any portion of the Teacher Training Workshop?
A. A teacher who is a current, certified CPR Instructor or Instructor Trainer must provide a copy of their certification to the teacher training agency, who will decide if attending the morning Level A course is required. All teachers, regardless of the level of past CPR training and current certification must attend the Teacher Training Session in the afternoon.
