Most of us volunteer or may teach as a part of a job function. Some people are paid a stipend to teach a class (very little money). I do not believe you would be able to find a full time job teaching CPR.
actually there are plenty of people who get paid for teaching CPR and can do so on a daily basis depending on the area. certified CPR instructors make $20 - $40/hr.
A CPR and First Aid trainer earns about $13.00/hour median income of working for a company. Independent instructors can make $1000-$3000 per week depending on the demand and area you live in.
You would hold certifications in the area of CPR you would be teaching (CPR Adult, Infant, Child, for the professional rescuer. AED, etc) and you would hold an instructor certification in the areas you would be teaching.
To become a self employed CPR instructor, you first need to contact a certifying agency, such as the Red Cross or the American Heart Association. They provide guidance for would-be instructors, and the Heart Assoc. has a "core instructor" course which provides good info. You will need to buy manikins. Do research online to see what products are out there. Better to buy them new rather than used. There are a few resources available on the internet, regarding the ins and outs of start up for a CPR training business. To find some, conduct an online search using search terms such as "become CPR instructor" or "start CPR training business."

You can't take cpr classes online, because you have to perform it in front of the instructor to make sure you are doing it right. Online classes are for programs that aren't as important as saving someones life.

There are many online sites where you can get CPR certification such as www.cprtoday.com/. However, I highly recommend that you take a class in person, because then you can actually practice several CPR techniques on a dummy in front of a certified instructor.
These are some basic steps to follow on how you could become a self employed CPR instructor in SF bay area California. # First, determine what agency you want to become affiliated with, such as ARC and/or AHA. I know of instructors that teach for both the ARC and AHA. # Obtain your instructor certifications and authorizations. # Contact the ARC and AHA (see related links). Also, google for CPR schools in the SF Bay area. Ask if you can teach for them and what the pay is. # If you want to teach in the workplace, without sponsorship such as ARC or AHA, you will need to purchase mannequins, books, cleaning agents, breathing barriers, and other materials as needed. The mannequins and materials will cost several thousand dollars. # It will take a lot of work to establish yourself as a self employed CPR instructor. Good luck.
