AHA CPR Instructor Business

Does anyone have experience with becoming an AHA Certified BLS and HeartSaver CPR Instructor? I am looking to become certified and start my own business where I go to businesses and offices to certify people. I am confused with the information I got from the Training Center I have to take the class through. Once you take the class, are you allowed to go out on your own to businesses and teach the class? Or do you have to teach it at the TC or a certified Training Site? I'd like to hear from someone who has done this and how your got things rolling in your respected area. Thanks!

No I don't have for my LLC. They charge me 3 bucks a card whether it's BLS ACLS or PALS I'm an instructor for all 3. I send over a list a head of time of my class n they email me the e cards so I have them available the day of , I also have a graphic designer who does all my advertising. I can take payment in any form. Also going rates in Washington DC area BLS 100 bucks 2 years n 180-200 for acls n pals. I can buy cards ahead of time as well. But with e card no longer have to do that.

That's awesome! The TC I took my course through charges $25 for card and then another 38% ($9.50) for a fee. If I align with them I get paid by them per hour, which is not what I want to do. Looking for a TC that has the same setup your TC has. Is your TC a hospital? I have heard they typically are more lenient with their instructors and don't try to micromanage enrollment or money. The TC I went through is a community college.

Hi Tarn,

I would like to know if you can share how you were able to market your business? Are you able to conduct classes full time?
