Instructor Observed Course

For Instructor Candidates Completing Their Hands-On Session

Welcome to the final step of your certification journey. If you’re an instructor candidate with Smooth Bore CPR & First Aid (or affiliated with us), this page is where you schedule your in-person skills verification and observed teaching session — required to complete your instructor certification.

*This is NOT for public CPR/BLS students. This session is for those who are already certified and need to fulfill the in-person observation to become a full instructor.

What to Expect

  • A hands-on skills check (CPR, AED, First Aid, BLS, and any other relevant competencies) under instructor supervision.

  • A teaching demonstration — you’ll lead a class under observation to confirm your teaching readiness.

  • Feedback on your performance and guidance before you begin leading your own courses.

  • Professional documentation of your completion (if required), so that you’re fully cleared to teach independently.

Who Should Use This Page

  • Instructor-certification candidates who have completed the online portion of the course and need the in-person skills/observation session.

  • Previously certified instructors needing re-evaluation or renewal, if applicable.

*Please do not book via this page if you are a student seeking standard CPR, BLS, or First Aid certification — use the regular public class schedule instead.

How to Book Your Observation Session

  3. Arrive prepared — bring any required instructor materials, books, manikin gear, and a valid student/provider card (if required).

Smooth Bore CPR & First Aid reserves the right to refuse or reschedule observation sessions if prerequisites are not met (e.g. online coursework not completed, expired provider certification, or missing materials).
