There are a few ongoing issues with instructor training in all disciplines. This includes the BLS ITs. In other words, instructor candidates should have a CTC with whom they are ready to align prior to taking an instructor course.

Monitoring There has been much confusion and discussion over what constitutes monitoring, and this information will not necessarily clean up that confusion.
More unified protocols regarding monitoring are forthcoming.
In circumstances where there are no other options, an IT can monitor another IT and an instructor can monitor another instructor. This is not the preferred method, however. Please make sure monitoring is documented. Forms are available from the CTC office or, if you have the Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your web browser, you can click here .
