Why Sign In? What does a "Sign in Roster" mean to you as an Instructor?
Whether you are teaching your own classes, or subcontracting to American EHS / American CPR for corporate trainings, a sign in roster is PROOF of student attendance... even if you are teaching your own independently scheduled trainings, be sure to mail or fax a copy in to American EHS / American CPR so we can add them to your Instructor file, and enter them in our database...this way, when students call in to re-certify, or to schedule a new group training, we can send the business back to you! (Also, we can verify certification for employers and others who may need to check authenticity of a students certification card.)
When students "sign in" follow these simple rules for all classes:

• The "Sign in Roster" clearly states: 
  "Please PRINT your name CLEARLY below"
   as well as "* Illegible names may not receive certifications, or may have incorrect spelling. There is a $8 charge per student for re-issuing certification cards.  Please PRINT CLEARLY as you wish to see your name spelled." 
  ~ Make sure the students follow these directions for your sake, and for ours!
• DO NOT sign the students in yourself, and DO NOT allow the class contact or coordinator to clearly print all the names... it is essential that each students write their own name... this shows that they were actually in attendance.
• Take roll at the end of class, using the sign in sheet... Why? Two  reasons; 

1. It gives you a chance to read over all the names for legibility (let's face it, not everybody's CLEAR PRINTING can be easily deciphered!) and
2. It allows you to make sure the students have stayed around for the entire class...you wouldn't want to issue a certification card to someone who left half way through your class! 

Sign in rosters are an asset to you, as an Instructor. It may seem like an insignificant item, when you compare this flimsy sheet of paper to your Instructor Manuals, Videos, Students Handouts, etc., but it is your most reliable and basic form of record keeping ~ Use it!

American EHS / American CPR Insurance program with National Professional Group, through Lloyds of London
American EHS / American CPR launched it's Affiliate Instructor Insurance program last December. We have received overwhelming response from American EHS / American CPR Affiliates! If you have tried to get insurance in the past, you know how difficult it can be for Individual Safety Instructors and small groups to obtain affordable liability insurance...we've had the same problem for years. American EHS / American CPR has arranged special "Instructor Only" insurance that makes it possible to protect yourself from liability at an affordable price. Click here to view the program online! (All Instructor's who wish to receive subcontract training from American EHS / American CPR MUST have liability insurance)

Affiliate Links still Booming...
Affiliate CPR training links were added to the  link pages at some of our web sites, and American EHS / American CPR Affiliates received over 1000 leads in the first two months! ... think about this....1000 leads, assume each is just one person (not, say, a couple or a small company of 4 individuals), assume they want just CPR (not, say, a CPR/First Aid/AED combo), assume that the class fee for just CPR is only $20 (Well below the going rate in most areas)... That is $20,000.00 in free business sent out to American EHS / American CPR Affiliates in under 8 weeks ~ independent of individual marketing efforts or subcontracting work! This link system will propagate throughout our network of 40+ safety websites over the next months ~ As well as the many Instructor websites now beginning to link in. You should be receiving safety training requests via email from these pages, if you are not, check your link at: www.americancpr.com/CPRLinks.html and make sure you have completed the steps and returned your Link Application form;  Click here for the form! Check last Month's Newsletter for Comments from Instructors, and Suggestions for making the most of your email leads:
