After you successfully complete the Instructor Course Online Component, you must register and complete an in-person Instructor Course Classroom Component (coordinated by local ITLS chapters and training centres). You must also be monitored by your chapter or training centre teaching lecture, skill station and patient assessment at an ITLS Provider course. When these requirements are met, you will receive your ITLS Instructor certification and card from your chapter or training centre.
