Interested in Becoming a Red Cross Instructor?
Disaster Instructor Specialty Training (DIST) is an advanced level, instructor-led course designed to enhance and refine the presentation skills of instructor candidates for basic level disaster courses.
This learning experience consists of a series of brief presentations and interactive discussions focused on the instructional techniques, course structure and delivery methods required to meet the diverse learning needs of participants attending disaster courses.
