The New Zealand Resuscitation Council trains CORE Advanced Instructors to provide CORE training to health professionals.

The CORE Advanced Instructor Course is a two-day course offered at CORE Advanced only. CORE Advanced instructors are also able to instruct CORE Immediate and CORE Skills.

Candidates are required to demonstrate satisfactory acquisition of theoretical knowledge and performance of simulated practical skills. The course is facilitated by a period of self-directed learning, attendance at a course of practical skill development, and formal assessment. The course also involves instruction and assessment of teaching of skill stations and scenarios.

Fees

The fee for the CORE Advanced Instructor Course is $1495.00 (GST exc.).  It includes:

• A copy of Resuscitation - A Guide for Advanced Rescuers (2016), 
• A copy of Resuscitation and Emergency Care – A Teaching Guide.

Candidates are expected to read these before attending the CORE Advanced Instructor Course. Candidates should also refer to any updated guidelines.

The fee also includes: all course material; morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea; and certification.

All purchases of Goods and Services must adhere to our Terms and Conditions.

Attendance does not guarantee a candidate being offered certification as a CORE Advanced 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.

After the Course

All candidates will be notified of their results within one week of completing the course and 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 CORE Advanced Instructor. 

Once the course is completed, successful candidates should be familiar with the Pathway to CORE Advanced Instructor Status.

New instructors are required to meet the ongoing requirements of being a CORE Advanced Instructor. During their first year as a CORE Advanced Instructor, candidates cannot fulfil the role of a CORE Course Director.

Candidates who are unsuccessful may be invited to register for a future course and pay full course fees.
