I had an MD in my class this morning and it reminded me of how nervous I was the first time I had a doctor in one of my BLS classes. My biggest fear? That they’d call me out in front of the class for saying something wrong — after all, they’re the doctor, right?

Well, that doctor questioned everything. 😅 But you know what? I was ready. I answered every question to their satisfaction because I had studied the course material and knew it inside and out.

That experience taught me an important lesson I now share with new instructors: “Know your stuff.” The hardest part about being a new instructor isn’t teaching. The hardest part is handling the questions - which can be tough sometimes if you do not fully know and understand the material that you are teaching. Remember, you are and should be the expert in the room. Just because someone is a doctor doesn’t mean they know everything about CPR - and usually I find that they don't.

Honestly, it’s so refreshing when I have a physician in class who is humble enough to ask questions to gain clarity, or even have an “aha” moment. Those moments aren’t just rewarding — they are incredible confidence boosters. 🙌

to one of the most engaging trainings we’ve ever done — Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park. 🏞️

What made this session so effective? We tailored the scenarios to fit the setting and needs of the group.

Instead of a cookie-cutter classroom experience, we brought CPR and AED training into the real world — and the difference in engagement was undeniable. 🔥

🧠 When students see how and where they'll actually use these skills, they retain more and respond better in real emergencies.

💡 As instructors, one of the most powerful things we can do is adapt our training to our audience — their environment, their risks, and their reality.

📌 Pro tip: Take the time to customize your scenarios. It doesn’t take much, but it makes all the difference.

Ever lost a client to someone selling CPR cards with no training at all?

You're not alone—and it's still happening. This article may be old, but the problem is very real today. Fraud like this doesn’t just damage the reputation of our industry—it puts lives at risk. If you're building a legit CPR business, it’s time to speak up, stand out, and raise the bar.

A retired Hialeah firefighter is accused of selling American Heart Association life support certifications without giving recipients the proper training, potentially making hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said Friday.
