The Generic Instructor Course trains future Instructors in the principles of
adult learning. These skills can then be used to teach fellow healthcare
professionals at a number of our courses, including ALS, EPALS and NLS.
This course is a joint collaboration between Resuscitation Council UK and the
Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG). Around 900 Instructors are trained on this
course every year.
This course consists of a day of e-learning followed by two days of face-to-face
attendance, which will take place in a Resuscitation Council UK Course Centre.
Across the two day face-to-face sessions, Candidates will attend a lecture
before taking part in practical sessions that cover the teaching modalities
required to teach the provider courses. These include approaches to teaching
skills acquisition, facilitating simulation, undertaking assessments and
providing feedback to candidates.
After successful completion of the GIC, Candidates must teach on two provider
courses as an Instructor Candidate (IC) within two years of the GIC in order to
complete their training and receive their qualification.
