Ready to take your teaching skills to the next level? Join us for the DAN DFA Pro Instructor Qualification course, where you’ll be certified to teach one of the most recognized CPR/First Aid/Dive Injury programs in the industry. Led by Katie Shoultz Cooper and Sean Harper, this workshop is your chance to gain valuable skills and knowledge, all while preparing to lead your own DAN courses. Participants will be qualified to lead all three DAN Courses – DFA Pro, Basic Life Support, and Oxygen Administration. Course descriptions can be found at: https://dan.org/education-events/instructor-led-courses/

All materials included in the DAN IQC Instructor Pack (https://shop.dan.org/collections/trainer-resources/products/little-anne-cpr-manikin-w-qcpr-kit) are required to teach DFA Pro. They will be provided during our workshop, no need to travel with supplies. If your home institution has these materials, register “without backpack.” If you would like the Instructor Pack to be provided to you at DEMA, register “with backpack.”

What to Expect:

• HOMEWORK: The traditional format of this course is a 2-day workshop. Participants in the ADPA expedited course will have elearning homework, a mandatory pre-course zoom session, and teaching presentations to prepare prior to arrival. Preparation is key to success.
