GIC (Generic Instructor Courses) | Become a Certified Instructor

Step Into a Teaching Role with Confidence

Becoming an instructor isn’t just about knowledge- it’s about how you deliver it.

Our Generic Instructor Course is designed to give you the skills, structure, and confidence to teach life support courses effectively. Whether you’re progressing from ALS, EPALS, or another course, this GIC prepares you to lead, engage, and assess candidates to the highest standard. 

If you’re ready to move from clinician to educator, this is the course that gets you there.

Why Take our Generic Instructor Course?

You already have the clinical knowledge. Now you need the ability to teach it properly.

This generic instructor course focuses on practical teaching skills that you’ll use immediately. You’ll learn how to deliver sessions with clarity, manage group dynamics, and give feedback that genuinely improves performance.

Delivered by experienced instructors, the GIC is hands-on, supportive, and designed to challenge you in the right way. By the end of the course, you’ll have already practised teaching and refined your approach- so you leave ready, not uncertain. 

Course Structure, Dates and Progression

The generic instructor course is typically delivered over two intensive days, with a strong emphasis on practical teaching and real-time feedback.

We run multiple generic instructor course dates throughout the year, but availability is limited due to small group sizes and high demand. If you’re planning your progression, securing a place early ensures you don’t delay moving forward.

After completing the GIC, you’ll progress to supervised teaching on live courses before achieving full instructor status. This is a recognised and essential step in UK resuscitation training pathways.
