The New Instructor Portal Is Here
You asked, and we listened! The new Instructor Portal is an easy one-stop shop for all of your course administration needs! You can now enter courses and receive an IMMEDIATE response on approval. You can also cancel classes and close classes with no demographic information necessary. Interested individuals can now register to become an instructor and receive immediate approval. We hope these upgrades help you to hold more courses in a more efficient manner. Take a quick tour of the portal and enter a new class!

Is Your Class Closed?
We currently have more than 13,000 classes that are NOT CLOSED. Please check the portal TODAY and make sure that all of your past classes are closed! This information is on the front page of your instructor portal and is integral to the program. Although we DO NOT require that you turn in rosters, we still need to know if your class was held, and who was in attendance.
Please close all courses within 7 days of holding your course. If the course is not closed, you will be contacted by staff.
Also… If you have courses that you previously taught, please enter those in the portal ASAP. We will review and approve those courses so they can be included in your instructor history.
Final Thoughts: New Year, New Goals
In October 2016, we didn’t know how long it would take to teach 1,000,000 individuals to Stop the Bleed. Now, we have seen the impact of more than 70,000 instructors providing training to children, adults, teachers, medical staff, politicians, and community members. As an instructor, you have the power to impact your families, your workplace, and your community by teaching this life-saving skill. What is your goal this year? Who do you want to teach? Your goal may be to teach your entire block, your daughter’s Girl Scout troop, or your parent’s Garden Club. We challenge you to train 2,020 individuals and see how far your message can go. Start this month!
