Fundamentals in Teaching (FIT)

The FIT course will introduce instructor candidates to the history, structure, and activities of the American Red Cross (ARC) and prepares them to teach ARC specialty courses like swimming, CPR, Lifeguard Training, First Aid, Babysitting, etc. to diverse populations. It also introduces candidates to the policies and procedures of the ARC and ensures course consistency, quality, and appropriate training. Students will receive a certification at the end of class and then be able to go on to get a Lifeguard Training Instructor, Water Safety Instructor, CPR & First Aid Instructor, or a variety of other specialty course Certification from American Red Cross. This training is a prerequisite to ALL Red Cross instructor specialty courses.
