If you’re a healthcare professional ready to step into a teaching role and shape the next generation of Advanced Life Support practitioners, Resuscitation Australia’s Instructor Accreditation Program (IAP) is being offered at Sydney Adventist Hospital in late August 2026.
What Is the IAP?
Resuscitation Australia’s Instructor Accreditation Program (IAP) offers an innovative, up-to-date, instructor training experience. Become accredited to lead Advanced Life Support (ALS) courses by participating in an IAP that’s tailored exclusively for healthcare professionals; this comprehensive course equips you with the knowledge, skills, and accreditation needed to teach ALS1 and ALS2 courses developed by Resuscitation Australia, and facilitated via our growing network of Accredited Course Centres.
The IAP pathway combines immersive face-to-face training, mentorship from experienced Instructor Development Coaches, and continuous formative assessment. This IAP will be led by Resuscitation Australia’s Lead Educator, Professor Hugh Grantham, ASM MBBS FRACGP, with Dr Margaret Mathers, MBBS, BSc (Hons), MHM, AFRACMA serving as Course Director.
Upcoming Course Date
In partnership with Sydney Adventist Hospital, the IAP will be hosted at the San (148 Fox Valley Road, Wahroonga, NSW) on Monday 31 August and Tuesday 1 September 2026.
What to Expect
The two-day course runs from 8:00am to 4:00pm and is structured around progressive skill development. Day One covers learning theory, technology orientation, skills teaching using Peyton’s Four-Stage Approach, and simulation scenario practice.
Day Two builds on this foundation with further simulation scenarios, assessment practice, and dedicated time for reflection and moving forward as an Instructor Candidate ahead of your mandatory Instructor Candidate placements.
Participants work in small groups of six, each with a dedicated learning space and assigned Instructor Development Coach. The approach emphasises coaching over didactic instruction. All Course Resources will be supplied upon enrolment, with shortform videos sent to participants each week in the lead up to the course.
Investment and Enrolment
The IAP is priced at $1,495 (incl. GST). To be eligible, candidates must fulfil the requirements of our IAP Participant Suitability Policy.
If this is the right training opportunity for you, we warmly encourage your participation and invite you to.enrol today.
