BLSD Instructor Course in English with American Heart Association International Certification with Mother-Tongue Faculty

The training centre ‘Squicciarini Rescue s.r.l.’ is an International Training Centre of the American Heart Association which, since 2015, has been training and certifying medical and non-medical personnel in Basic Life Support and defibrillation in every Italian region and also abroad.

In addition to the provider courses, we are also able to provide BLSD Instructor courses in English, as we have qualified Faculty thanks to a specific training course carried out by authorised Regional Faculty; this allows us to launch BLSD Training Sites that can subsequently be accredited by 118 and also provide national certificates for both healthcare and non-healthcare personnel.

 

This type of training allows anyone to be trained in the use of AEDs, receiving national and international certification, as well as regional 118 certification.

This type of course is also very useful for those who are in charge of company training for law 81/08, and who need to add AED certification and qualification to ‘Company First Aid’.

 

 

The BLS+AED instructor course is divided into 3 steps:

• international provider course (Heartsaver or Bls Health Care Provider), i.e. the operator course; in fact one cannot teach something without having seen it, experienced it, studied it.
• instructor course: a day where Faculty teach how to use the American Heart Association materials.
• monitoring: i.e. the aspiring instructors in this phase will demonstrate the skills learnt and train – with Faculty at their side – their trainees.

Once this course has been completed, the new instructor will be able to become accredited with 118 in his or her region (or in several regions) according to current regulations.

 

Our ITC has native English-speaking medical and nursing instructors and faculty, which enables international training with this option as well. In fact, we are the Centre that has trained the United Nations – World Food Programme, several embassies, foreign nationals and companies.

Becoming a BLSD instructor in the large AHA family means not only being able to teach others life-saving manoeuvres also abroad and in other languages, but to become a multiplier of manoeuvres that can really make a difference.
