What is the difference between a first aid instructor re-certification course and a yearly update?
The first aid instructor re-certification course is a 16 hr course and includes a review of the changes to the manual, a skills review, an evaluation of lecture presentation, demonstration presentation, evaluation skills and a review of changes to zone training procedure/programs. It also includes taking the National written exam, skills exam and diagnostic exam. A yearly update is a 6 hr course and is similar to a returning patroller re-certification course. It covers the changes to the manual and includes taking the National written exam, skills exam and diagnostic exam.
