Vive CPR is seeking an experienced emergency medical professional / first responder to teach CPR classes in our Rohnert Park classroom and the SF Bay Area (primarily Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and SF counties). While we're interested in Sonoma-based candidates, we're also seeking candidates who live in Marin and SF counties to best serve our clients in those counties.
Since starting our business in 2020, we have worked tirelessly to provide top-notch training to thousands of people in the Bay Area. We offer American Heart Association CPR, First Aid, BLS, ACLS, and PALS certification classes, NRP, Stop The Bleed, and more in our classroom and onsite at clients’ businesses and homes.
The ideal candidate has experience responding to and performing lifesaving treatments in emergency situations, along with relevant teaching experience. Paramedics, EMTs, emergency nurses / technicians, and others with relevant experience would be a good fit for our team. Teaching experience is preferred, but not required. If you have the emergency medical knowledge and experience, and like to interact with people of diverse backgrounds, we can teach you how to run a class. What matters most to us is passion, emergency medical knowledge, reliability, communication skills, integrity, and willingness to help the community.
We provide all the necessary equipment for onsite classes, paid instructor training to ensure that all of our team members are well-prepared, and travel compensation. We have classes scheduled Mondays through Saturdays, allowing you to choose those that best match your availability. That said, we are looking for someone who knows their schedule well in advance, is available to teach a few classes (or more) each week, and can work at least one Saturday and one evening each month.
Other job requirements include an operable vehicle, valid CA Driver’s License, automobile insurance, as well as the ability to lift 40 lbs, bend down, and get on your knees to demonstrate CPR. A background check may be completed before hire.
If this opportunity sounds like a good fit, please email your resume, along with an introduction, and your general availability. We look forward to hearing from you!

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in CPR instructor jobs.
- Current AHA BLS Instructor or Red Cross CPR/AED Instructor certification
- Experience teaching CPR and first aid to adult and pediatric populations
- Ability to conduct skills assessments and issue course completion cards
- Strong verbal communication and classroom facilitation skills
- Familiarity with AED trainer devices and CPR feedback manikins

Tips for Your CPR Instructor Job Search
List every active certification you hold
Employers filter hard on certification body and renewal date. List your AHA BLS, ASHI, or Red Cross credentials with exact expiration dates on your resume so hiring managers don't disqualify you before the phone screen.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists cpr instructor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to the training setting
A hospital-based BLS instructor role prioritizes healthcare provider competency testing, while a community center role values group facilitation and adaptive instruction. Reframe your bullet points to match the specific setting in each posting you apply to.
Demonstrate your hands-on teaching record
Hiring managers want to know how many people you've certified and in what contexts. Include the class formats you've led, the participant populations you've taught, and any equipment you're trained to use, such as AEDs or manikin feedback devices.
Prepare a skills demonstration for interviews
Many cpr instructor interviews include a live teach-back segment where you instruct the panel as if they're students. Practice delivering a two-minute compression technique segment out loud, including verbal cues and feedback phrases, before your interview.
Negotiate class load and equipment access
Before accepting an offer, clarify how many sessions per week the role requires, whether the employer provides manikins and AED trainers, and who covers your certification renewal costs. These details vary widely and affect your workload and out-of-pocket expenses.
CPR Instructor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most cpr instructors?
The companies hiring the most cpr instructors right now include Safety Training, CPR Training Clinic, and Certification Classes, with the largest share of openings in California, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Healthcare systems, national fitness chains, and workplace safety training firms consistently post the highest volume of openings.
How many cpr instructor jobs are remote?
About 13% of cpr instructor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with most remote work concentrated in course coordination, curriculum development, and virtual first-aid training for corporate clients. Hands-on skills instruction almost always requires in-person delivery, so fully remote roles are a small share of total postings.
How do you become a cpr instructor?
You first complete a provider-level CPR course through a recognized body such as the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross, then enroll in that organization's instructor training program. After completing the instructor course, you co-teach a monitored class with an instructor trainer who evaluates your technique and delivery before issuing your instructor credential.
Can I get hired as a cpr instructor with little experience?
Yes, many employers will hire a newly certified instructor for part-time or community-based roles where class volume is lower and mentorship is available. Strengthening your application by volunteering to co-teach classes at a local fire station, community center, or school district builds a teaching history that compensates for limited paid experience when you apply to competitive full-time positions.
What does the cpr instructor interview process look like?
Most cpr instructor interviews begin with a phone or video screen focused on your certifications, availability, and teaching background, followed by an in-person or on-site interview that includes a teach-back exercise. During the teach-back, you'll instruct the panel on a specific skill, such as chest compressions or rescue breaths, so the hiring team can evaluate your technique accuracy, verbal cueing, and ability to give corrective feedback.
Where can I find and apply to cpr instructor jobs?
You can find and apply to cpr instructor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your certifications, setting preferences, and availability, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
