Instructor training and partnership

Choose the option that fits you

These are three different offers with different requirements and pricing. Pick the one that matches your situation.

  1. Certify my staff. Buy group discount seats, or use the same page to get a token dashboard. That is not instructor training.
  2. Make someone at my organization an instructor. We will train that person only if 20 or more people in the organization will take our PMT provider courses. With 19 or fewer people, we do not train an instructor for your organization.
  3. I am already an AHA instructor and I have students. You bring the students. We provide the online CPR, BLS, ACLS, or PALS course and the card. We do not hire you.

What we sell

Pacific Medical Training (PMT) sells PMT-branded CPR, BLS, ACLS, and PALS enrollments. We support instructors because they complete the in-person skills verification for our online students.

We do not:

  • Employ instructors
  • Pay a monthly fee
  • Assign you PMT students
  • Promise a trainer in every ZIP code

In-house instructor training (20 or more people)

This is for a hospital, medical office, or similar group that will put 20 or more of its own people through our provider courses and wants a designated staff member who can sign PMT skills forms.

If you have 19 or fewer people taking our courses, we will not train your instructor. You can still buy provider seats.

The path:

  1. Complete a PMT or AHA provider course
  2. Complete an AHA instructor course at an authorized training center (we do not teach that course ourselves)
  3. Buy your own equipment
  4. Bring your own student who completed the PMT provider course online. We audit them as they perform the in-person course

After that, that person can sign PMT skills forms for people in your organization.

We can schedule instructor training over Zoom. We cannot promise on-site training in a particular ZIP code. Tell us your headcount, address, dates, and course, and we will tell you whether we have a partner who can do it.

Price

Instructor training has no list price. We quote after we know how many people will take our courses.

A Zoom instructor seat has been $300 per person. Most of the total cost is the provider enrollments for your 20 or more people.

Already an AHA instructor (bring your own students)

You already hold a current AHA instructor certification in CPR, BLS, ACLS, or PALS. You already have students.

How it works:

  1. Your students complete our online course
  2. You provide the in-person skills verification at a site you arrange
  3. We issue the PMT card after the online exam and the skills form

You find the students and set the in-person fee. We do not send you students.

Please give an exact number for your average students per month over the last 12 months. We cannot onboard applications that say “varies” or give a range.

Who this is for

  • Current AHA instructor certification (CPR, BLS, ACLS, or PALS)
  • Active medical license or certification (RN, MD, DO, paramedic, or equivalent)
  • Experience teaching emergency cardiovascular care
  • Your own equipment, or access to it
  • Your own professional liability insurance

What partners receive

  • Access to current AHA guidelines-based course materials
  • Skills verification checklists and documentation
  • Student progress reports for hybrid courses
  • Updates when AHA guidelines change

For AHA training centers

If you operate an AHA training center, we can discuss curriculum licensing, white-label options, and bulk course access.

Frequently asked questions

For the commercial partner path, yes. You need a current AHA instructor certification (CPR, BLS, ACLS, or PALS). For in-house instructor training, you complete a PMT or AHA provider course, then an AHA instructor course at an authorized training center, then we audit one student.

There is no public instructor-course price list. We quote after we see how many people will take PMT provider courses. A Zoom instructor seat has been $300 per person. Our revenue comes from enrollments in our PMT-branded CPR, BLS, ACLS, or PALS courses, not from instructor training.

You bring your own students. We cannot onboard an application that does not state a numeric average of students per month over the last 12 months.

We carry insurance for our business operations. Instructors should maintain their own professional liability insurance, as is standard in the industry.

We can schedule Zoom training. For a local trainer, we need a partner in your area, and we do not have instructors standing by in every ZIP code. Tell us your headcount, address, dates, and course, and we will tell you whether we have a partner who can do it.

We train an in-house instructor only when 20 or more people in that organization will take our PMT provider courses. If you have 19 or fewer, we will not train your instructor. The path is:
  1. Complete a PMT or AHA provider course
  2. Complete an AHA instructor course at an authorized training center
  3. Buy your own equipment
  4. Bring your own student who completed the PMT provider course online, and we will audit them as they perform the in-person course
After that, you can sign PMT skills forms for people in your organization. We can schedule instructor training over Zoom. We cannot promise a trainer in a particular ZIP code.

We do not employ you, pay you a monthly fee, or send you students. You bring your own students and set your own prices for the in-person work. We sell them the online course and issue the card.

Yes. Many instructor partners provide skills verification at their own medical facilities, training centers, or offices.

Yes, as long as your existing agreements allow it. Many instructors work with multiple organizations.

That's up to you. Some instructors work with us regularly. Others provide skills verification as needed.
