Terms and Conditions CPR Training School
Instructor Development & Training Center Alignment Agreement
This Instructor Development & Training Center Alignment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Market Share, Inc. d.b.a. CPR Training School (“CPR Training School” or “CPRTS”) and the individual enrolling in or aligned through the CPR Training School Instructor Development Program (“Instructor Candidate” or, following activation, “Instructor”).
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms of the Instructor Candidate’s development, monitoring, Training Center alignment, activation, and ongoing responsibilities while aligned with CPR Training School.
Purpose of the Program
The Instructor Candidate is enrolling in CPR Training School’s instructor-development process for the purpose of completing the training, assessment, monitoring, administrative requirements, and Training Center alignment necessary to become an active instructor through CPR Training School.
Enrollment in the program does not, by itself, make the Instructor Candidate an active instructor.
Active instructor status is granted only after all required steps have been successfully completed and CPR Training School has completed final setup and activation.
Six-Month Completion Requirement
The Instructor Candidate has six months from the original enrollment date to complete the instructor-development process.
The process may include, as applicable:
Instructor-development training
Required assessments
Instructor materials
Equipment preparation
Monitoring or skills testing
Required onboarding documentation
Identification verification
Training Center alignment
Final instructor setup and activation
If the Instructor Candidate does not complete the required process within six months, the enrollment expires.
An expired Instructor Candidate must restart the instructor-development process under a new training cycle before continuing.
CPR Training School may, at its discretion, offer a discounted restart enrollment to a returning candidate.
Training Placed on Hold
An Instructor Candidate may request that training be placed On Hold .
Placing training on hold:
preserves the candidate’s account and training history;
does not constitute a cancellation;
does not create a refund;
and does not extend the original six-month completion deadline.
If the Instructor Candidate resumes training before the original expiration date, training may continue under the same enrollment cycle.
If the six-month period has expired, a new training cycle is required.
Fees and Refunds
Instructor enrollment and training fees are non-refundable unless CPR Training School agrees otherwise in writing.
Failure to complete training, failure to complete monitoring, inactivity, failure to provide required documentation, or expiration of the six-month training period does not create a right to a refund.
Equipment, instructor materials, student materials, replacement materials, additional programs, and other products or services are separate unless specifically stated as included in the Instructor Candidate’s enrollment.
Identification and Required Documentation
The Instructor Candidate agrees to provide accurate information and all documentation reasonably required to complete instructor development and alignment.
Required information may include:
Government-issued identification
Signed Instructor Agreement
AHA identification information
Instructor-level information
Training records
Required instructor-material information
Other documentation reasonably necessary to complete instructor setup and alignment
The Instructor Candidate is responsible for maintaining accurate contact information and instructor records.
Documentation or verification completed during a prior training cycle may be reviewed again during a new or restarted training cycle.
AHA Standards and Instructor Requirements
The Instructor agrees to conduct applicable American Heart Association courses in accordance with current AHA course requirements, instructional standards, program administration requirements, course materials, and applicable CPR Training School Training Center procedures.
The Instructor is responsible for maintaining the credentials and qualifications required for the courses the Instructor teaches.
The Instructor agrees to use current and appropriate course materials and resources and to follow applicable course requirements when conducting training.
CPR Training School may provide updates, guidance, procedures, and operational requirements to help instructors remain compliant with current program standards.
Equipment and Instructor Materials
The Instructor Candidate is responsible for obtaining the equipment and instructor materials required for the courses the Instructor intends to teach.
Depending on the courses being taught, equipment and materials may include:
Adult and infant manikins
AED trainers
CPR masks and barriers
Required instructor manuals
Course videos or other approved media
Student course materials
Other required teaching equipment
CPR Training School may provide instructors with access to discounted equipment, instructor materials, AHA products, and related resources.
Instructor Candidates are encouraged to wait until equipment and material requirements are reviewed during training before making significant purchases.
CPR Training School is not responsible for equipment or materials purchased independently that are outdated, unsuitable, incomplete, incompatible, or unnecessary.
Monitoring
Successful completion of monitoring is required before instructor activation.
Monitoring may differ depending on the Instructor Candidate’s training format.
Virtual Blended Instructor Candidates may complete a skills-test style monitoring process in which required skills are demonstrated and evaluated.
In-Person Instructor Candidates may be evaluated through live teaching, coaching, demonstrations, learner interaction, classroom management, course flow, and related instructor competencies.
Receiving coaching or corrective feedback during monitoring does not automatically constitute failure.
Approved monitoring outcomes may include:
Pass
Pass With Coaching
Partial Retest
Full Retest
CPR Training School may require additional practice, follow-up, partial retesting, or repeat monitoring when necessary.
Completion of monitoring does not automatically make the Instructor Candidate an Active Instructor. Final setup, alignment, and activation occur afterward.
Training Center Alignment
CPR Training School may serve as the Instructor’s Training Center when alignment is completed through CPR Training School.
The general structure is:
Training Center → Training Site → Instructor
Training Center alignment is included as part of the instructor enrollment process unless otherwise stated in writing.
