Affiliation with a MEDIC First Aid Training Center is a requirement for authorization as an Instructor. MEDIC First Aid Instructor authorization lasts for a period of two years. Applications for authorization must be submitted to HSI by the Director of the Training Center.

There are two methods of achieving authorization:

1. Successful completion of an appropriate MEDIC First Aid Instructor Development Course.

2. Through reciprocity, i.e., holding current Instructor credentials with another nationally recognized and reputable organization or equivalent.

MEDIC First Aid has five Instructor categories; each authorized to certify providers in specific MEDIC First Aid brand programs.
