This immersive two-day instructor-development course trains new ATLS® instructors to sustain and grow the ATLS® programme across the UK. The course is designed specifically for those nominated as having ATLS® Instructor Potential (IP) and focuses on the methods, standards, and processes involved in teaching the ATLS® course. Successful candidates gain ATLS® Instructor and ATLS® Provider status.
In addition to the two-day face-to-face component, there is mandatory pre-course e-learning delivered via the RCS VLE 6–8 weeks before the course, with preparation considered essential. Upon completion, you will have the necessary skills to develop a positive working environment and act as a supportive mentor to candidates on the provider course.
The course combines highly interactive discussions, tutorials, skills teaching, and simulated patient management scenarios. Continual assessments throughout enable you to demonstrate your competence in developing scenario questions and leading interactive discussions, managing initial assessment scenarios, and teaching skills. After passing this course, you will achieve Instructor Candidate status and must then complete your ATLS® Instructor training by teaching the ATLS® Provider course as faculty within one year.
What you'll gain:
Note: Some ATLS® centres use animal tissue on courses. The Bjorn Saven Centre at RCS England does not use animal tissue. Pre-course preparation via the RCS VLE is mandatory, with login details emailed approximately 6–8 weeks before the course. We accept bookings from clinicians who work or live in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Malta, and British Overseas Territories.
