April Training Center Faculty and Training Site Newsletter
Hey everyone, I realized there is information that is more specific to TCF and Training Sites, so I am sending out a separate newsletter to you. This will be monthly or as needed.
Training Site Coordinators – For most of you I am not sending the Instructor Newsletter to your instructors, please forward it to them with any information you may want to add. I am switching from emailing everyone based on conversations I’ve had with a few of you. If you want your instructors to receive all my emails, please let me know.
SHARE THE DATE! We have scheduled a new product demo at the Training Center on Wednesday May 25th from 4-5 pm with WorldPoint! This is both an in-person and Zoom event. I strongly encourage someone from each TS to attend! WorldPoint will be raffling off a set of their new manikins. I will find out if they will ship them to anyone who is not local. There will be SWAG and FOOD! Super good reasons to stop by or join in!
You can view their manikins here: https://vimeo.com/showcase/9165522 password is WPP
WorldPoint will be raffling off a CPR Taylor, Baby Tyler set, have swag, and are bringing food.
This is a drop in event, but they are asking for RSVP’s so they know how much stuff to bring.
Please RSVP here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Q7SFWXD. I will need RSVP’s sooner rather than later. I am sure there is a minimum number of participants they would like to see coming to make the drive here. Please RSVP by Tuesday May 17th.
Previously recorded AHA webinars
The AHA has been holding webinars for Training Centers. A lot of what is covered is applicable to Training Sites, so I am forwarding the links to these recordings. Several of these have Q&A documents. If you would like them, please email me and I will forward them to you. I don’t want to send out a ton of attachments if you don’t want to receive them.

Are you receiving the ECC Beat?
If you are not, please let me know and I will forward them to you. Please check your settings in the IN – they should be set to receive all communication so that you receive them.
Training supply discounts
I am encouraging everyone to set up a WorldPoint account and link it to our Training Center account to receive a discount. If you previously used ShopCPR, you are no longer required to purchase from them. As an Entrepreneurial Training Center, we are required to purchase from WorldPoint. If all of us purchase some or most of our supplies from WorldPoint, we will hit the next price bracket to increase our group discount. This discount is on regular and AHA products. That said, we do not mandate where you purchase your stuff, that’s up to you. Just remember that all your course participants must have all the books and course materials required for AHA courses.
Paperwork information
Okay, I’ve been seeing some interesting rosters lately. Please make sure you and your instructors fill out rosters correctly.
- Make sure the Training Center is Coastal CPR & First Aid. TC # is NH20943
- For Heartsaver courses the new roster has 3 pages and they must complete all 3 pages. Please double check that they have checked off the modules complete. If they do not please have your instructors correct and resubmit their rosters. The roster and the eCards must match what content was covered.
Are you uploading or submitting your rosters? TS should upload their rosters monthly or as needed. The TC must keep a copy of ALL rosters for 3 years. So even though you are issuing eCards, we are still required to have a copy of all rosters.
eCard information
All Training Sites have been set up as eCard locations. TCF have the option to issue their own eCards as well. Here’s our criteria and rationale for who can issue eCards.
Who is currently issuing eCards:
- Currently only the TC is issuing eCards for instructors. They pay full price for their eCards.
- Training Sites are set up as eCard locations to issue their own eCards. They pay a discounted rate for their eCards.
- eCard costs are rounded up to an even dollar amount to cover processing charges and the time for TC staff to check rosters and issue eCards. Since TS’s issue their own, they are responsible for checking rosters and issuing, so the TC does not have to do so.
Upcoming:
- TCF and Instructors who turn in rosters promptly and correctly will be offered the opportunity to issue their own eCards. This is a privilege, not a guarantee. They will also be offered a discounted rate for their eCards. Rosters will still need to be submitted to the TC.
TCF Updates
All Training Site Coordinators are designated as Training Center Faculty. As TCF you can teach instructor courses. You may also be asked to help with monitoring instructors (this is compensated), instructor updates, and support/mentor for new instructors.
If you would like to teach an instructor course, please let me know. I am creating a training document on how to do this.
We are required to have 1 TCF for every 8-12 instructors. If your Training Site has grown to 10 instructors or more, you will need to contact us to designate one of your instructors to be TCF to support you. Criteria to become TCF is to be proficient in your provider skills, be an experienced instructor (taught 10+ classes or more, and/or more than 1 year experience), desire to teach and support other instructors, and willing to support and assist with the goals and tasks of the Training Site or Training Center.
Instructor Updates
I am looking for help to hold monthly or bi-monthly instructor updates.
Have questions? Let us know!
Thank you so much for all that you do!
Take care,
