Become an AHA Instructor

Teach. Earn. Stay Current. On Your Terms.

Becoming an American Heart Association (AHA) Instructor is a rewarding way to earn additional income, strengthen your clinical skills, and support your healthcare community — all while maintaining control over your own schedule and teaching environment.

​

This pathway is ideal for healthcare professionals who want flexibility without giving up professionalism or compliance.

​

Why Become an AHA Instructor?

💼 Earn Supplemental Income

Teaching CPR and life support courses provides a reliable way to earn additional income alongside your primary career. You choose how often you teach and which courses you offer.

​

⏰ Teach on Your Own Time

Instructors set their own schedules. Teach evenings, weekends, or only when it fits your availability — there are no minimum teaching requirements.

​

🏠 Teach in Your Own Space

Qualified instructors may teach in approved locations of their choice, including home-based classrooms, offices, or rented spaces, as long as program requirements are met.

You are not restricted to a single facility.

​

📚 Earn Continuing Education (CE) Credit

Instructor training includes continuing education credit, helping you stay current while advancing your professional credentials.

​

🧠 Strengthen Your Clinical Confidence

Teaching reinforces best practices, sharpens decision-making, and keeps your skills aligned with current guidelines — benefits that carry directly into your clinical work.

​

🌱 Teach Independently — With Support

Once aligned, instructors may:

• Teach independently

• Post their classes at no cost

• Receive guidance on compliance and program standards

• Build their own student base

• ​

We provide structure and support — you keep your independence.
