Providing supplemental oxygen early in the emergency can make a vital difference.

What is a MEDIC FIRST AID Facilitator? 

MEDIC FIRST AID Facilitators
MEDIC FIRST AID programs include an imbedded instructional design that provides the instructor with a basic framework on how to present a class. The instructor's role is essential, but not in the classic "wise lecturer" tradition. It is more a role of "facilitation". The word "facilitate" is Latin in origin (facilis), and means "to make easy or easier." We subscribe to the notion of an instructor as helper, guide, encourager, consultant and resource. We use the title "Facilitator" to collectively represent all of our instructional levels.

There are three levels of Facilitators:
Instructors are qualified to conduct student classes in MEDIC FIRST AID courses.
Instructor Trainers are qualified to conduct Instructor and student classes.
Master Trainers are qualified to offer Instructor Trainer, Instructor and student classes.

Facilitator training classes are available to become either an Instructor or Instructor Trainer-level Facilitator. Experienced and skilled MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor Trainers are encouraged to become Master Trainers.

There are two primary Facilitator categories:

Independent Facilitators provide MEDIC FIRST AID student training to business, industry, government and/or the public on a fee-for-service basis. Independent Trainers are also authorized to certify Instructors who will work for them as an employee (full-time, part-time, or contracted) at the instructor level.

Corporate Facilitators provide MEDIC FIRST AID training within a corporation, branch of government (e.g., public safety, corrections, forestry, etc.), or other organizational structure. Corporate Facilitators conduct training as part of their occupational or organizational duties.

Becoming a MEDIC FIRST AID instructor or instructor trainer is easy. Our family of programs include CPR/first aid for OSHA compliance in the occupational setting, healthcare provider BLS/CPR, automated defibrillation, emergency oxygen, bloodborne pathogens, and pediatric CPR/first aid. The Facilitator training process allows you to purchase and teach any or all of these programs.

There are three steps to fulfilling the training requirements for becoming a MEDIC FIRST AID Instructor:

* Step 1: Provider Training
First attend and successfully complete student-level training for the programs you wish to teach. This will provide you with an understanding of the course content and the physical skills necessary to be able to perform effective emergency care.

* Step 2: Facilitator Self-Study Training
Most of the technical and administrative knowledge required to function productively as a MEDIC FIRST AID Facilitator is presented in the Facilitator Self-Study Guide and Video. You can spend as much time as necessary gaining an understanding of our instructional design and administrative issues. Condensing this traditional classroom-based information into a single self-paced resource reduces your classroom time.

* Step 3: Facilitator Training Class
You will attend and complete a classroom training session. This session is designed to help new Facilitators become comfortable with the practical use of the instructional elements found in MEDIC FIRST AID training programs including Facilitator and student guides, Small Group Practices, Talk-Through Scenarios, and Performance Evaluations. It also provides an opportunity to ensure the skill competence of each Facilitator candidate.
