Revive CPR LLC
West Des Moines, IA Contractor
POSTED ON 10/21/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/17/2027

American Red Cross CPR/BLS Instructor – Independent Contractor

Revive CPR LLC is seeking currently certified American Red Cross instructors to teach First Aid/CPR/AED and Basic Life Support (BLS) classes.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

This position is for currently certified American Red Cross instructors only.

You must currently hold an American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor certification to apply.

American Heart Association (AHA) instructor certification does NOT qualify for this position. Please do not apply if you are certified only as an AHA instructor.

American Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructor certification is strongly preferred. Qualified American Red Cross instructors who do not yet hold the BLS Instructor certification may still apply if they are willing and eligible to complete the American Red Cross BLS Instructor bridge before teaching BLS classes for Revive CPR.

Standard CPR, First Aid, or BLS provider certifications are not instructor certifications and do not qualify.

About the Work

Revive CPR is an American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider offering public and on-site First Aid/CPR/AED and BLS classes.

Instructors work independently as contractors teaching scheduled Revive CPR classes. Most community classes are scheduled on weekends, so regular Saturday and/or Sunday availability is important. Weekday opportunities may also be available.

Required Qualifications

  • Current American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor certification
  • Current American Red Cross BLS Instructor certification or willingness and eligibility to complete the American Red Cross BLS Instructor bridge before teaching BLS classes
  • Ability to independently conduct American Red Cross classes
  • Reliable transportation to scheduled class locations
  • Strong communication and classroom-management skills
  • Ability to lift and transport approximately 25–30 lbs. of training equipment

Instructor Equipment

Contractors must own or have reliable access to the equipment and supplies needed to independently conduct classes. This generally includes adult and infant manikins, AED trainers, BVMs, pocket masks/valves, and appropriate First Aid training supplies and consumables.

Schedule

This is occasional independent-contractor teaching work, not a regular weekly position. Community classes are generally scheduled on weekends. In most markets, instructors may be offered approximately 2 teaching days per month, depending on enrollment and class scheduling. Additional on-site classes may occasionally be available.

Why Teach with Revive CPR?

  • Compensation: $125 per standard 2.5-hour community class ($50 per instructional hour)
  • Independent contract teaching opportunities
  • Established American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider
  • Opportunity for additional classes as Revive CPR grows

Please apply only if you currently hold an American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor certification. Applicants who do not yet hold the American Red Cross BLS Instructor certification may apply if they are willing and eligible to complete the BLS Instructor bridge before teaching BLS classes.
