Canadian Red Cross Teaching Experience Supervisor (TES) Program
Price: $75.00
The Teaching Experience Supervisor (TES) program is an adjunct endorsement for certified Red Cross instructors who want to mentor and support new instructor candidates. TES certification allows instructors to supervise and evaluate teaching experiences without becoming an Instructor-Trainer.
The program includes an online component and, where applicable, a skills assessment. Once certified, instructors can supervise TES for any discipline they are already qualified in (for example, First Aid and BLS).
