About The Position

The Affiliate Instructor is an independent American Red Cross-certified instructor who teaches health and safety courses under ProACT Academy's Training Provider license. Affiliate Instructors maintain their own training operations while being formally affiliated with ProACT Academy to access the Red Cross Instructor Portal and report courses. This role is designed for instructors who value autonomy, professionalism, and community impact. Affiliate Instructors teach independently using their own equipment, manage their own registrations and pricing, and deliver high-quality Red Cross courses that meet both American Red Cross and ProACT Academy standards. Affiliate Instructors serve a wide range of learners (students, employees, families, first responders, and members of the public) using engaging, practical, and confidence-building instructional methods.

This is not a paid employment position. Affiliate Instructors operate independently and:
Set their own pricing
Process their own registrations
Teach under their own business model
Submit course records through ProACT Academy
At the end of each month, Affiliate Instructors receive an invoice for services and licensing associated with courses reported under ProACT Academy. Fees are based on the courses taught and records entered.
