Starting to teach the First Responder Course

I am a certified instructor for the ARC, and have taught the Emergency Response course a few times. If you're looking at that material, I'd hold off, as the text and workbook are VERY outdated. There are several pages of updates that need to be included when the course is taught. Also, the entire CPR and much of the O2 admin portion of the text are completely outdated.

However, if you are planning on teaching, it might behoove you to take a "certified instructor course" simply for liability sake. If one of your students acts outside his or her scope, you might be on the hook. Teaching a First Responder class on my own isn't something I'd even consider...
