To establish an ASHI Training Center, you must do the following:

1. Submit a Training Center eApplication
   
   • The application must be submitted by the Training Center Director—the person who will be responsible for all training activities conducted by the Training Center, and who is authorized to enter into agreements on behalf of the Training Center (see TCAM for Training Center Guidelines).
     
2. Submit a New Instructor Application for least one affiliated Instructor
   
   • This Instructor can be the Training Center Director, and can receive Instructor authorization at the same time that the Training Center is created.  
   • Training Centers must pay the two-year membership fee for their affiliated Instructors. 
   • ASHI authorizes Instructors in thirteen distinct types. To determine what type your Instructor will qualify for, and which programs he or she will be authorized to teach, please see our Instructor Authorization and Reciprocity Chart.
3. Purchase at least one Instructor package
   
   • Regardless of the Instructor authorization of affiliated Instructors, Training Centers may provide only those programs for which they have purchased the appropriate Instructor package. 
     
   • To purchase an Instructor package, please visit our Online Store, or call customer service at 800 246 5101.
     

To provide advanced programs such as First Responder, ACLS, or PALS, there are more requirements. If appropriate, an ASHI representative will contact you to discuss these.

The Training Center Director is responsible for maintaining copies of all Instructor certifications and for distributing ASHI membership cards to affiliated Instructors. Training Centers must keep applications and all pertinent documentation on file for each Instructor.
