Other
Attendance does not guarantee a candidate being offered certification as an NLS Instructor. Candidates are assessed throughout the course on their theoretical knowledge of resuscitation, attitude towards teaching, interest in resuscitation, confidence and abilities as a teacher, and support of the New Zealand Resuscitation Council’s educational philosophy.
All candidates will be notified of their results within one week of completing the course and will be asked to acknowledge the Instructor Code of Conduct. The NZ Resuscitation Council will then issue the candidate with their Instructor Certificate, and the candidate will be recognised as a NLS Instructor.
This is laid out step by step in the Pathway to NLS Instructor Status.
New instructors are required to meet the ongoing requirements of being a NLS Instructor. During their first year as a NLS instructor, candidates cannot fulfil the role of a NLS Course Director.
Candidates who are unsuccessful may be invited to register for a future course, and will again be required to pay full course fees.
