Have you ever had the desire to train others in performing life-saving skills? The Aroostook County Branch of the American Red Cross-Pine Tree Chapter is offering a three-day Red Cross Instructor Training Class on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18-20, at the Academy House on the campus of The Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day.
As an American Red Cross instructor, individuals promote the qualities of the Red Cross while serving as a role model, teaching others to become certified in CPR, first aid, and various other health and safety trainings. Instructors will be trained in a manner that helps participants stay engaged in the learning process while providing corrective feedback and encouragement consistent with the critical skill performance steps. This training also provides a chance for individuals to earn a supplemental income.
Participants will need to have a current certificate in CPR and first aid either from the American Red Cross or American Heart Association. Pre-registration is required by Monday, Nov, 15. Registration is limited to 10 participants.
For more information or to register, call Penny Kern at 493-4620, ext. 109 or e-mail at kernp@pinetree.redcross.org. Registration is limited to 10 participants.
The Pine Tree Chapter of the American Red Cross serves northern, central and eastern Maine with fire and disaster relief, services to the Armed Forces, community preparedness and health and safety training services.
