Process for becoming an NRP Instructor
The process for becoming an NRP Instructor has been established by the CPS NRP Steering Committee.
1. Review the NRP Registration Guidelines to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria for becoming an NRP Instructor.
2. Submit an application to attend an NRP Instructor Workshop, or have your name added to a waitlist for an upcoming workshop: NRP Instructor Workshop Application.
- To complete the application process you must submit the following supporting documents to nrp.rcp@iwk.nshealth.ca.
- Letter of support from your sponsoring organization - NRP Instructor Candidate Letter of Support (fillable pdf).
- Current NRP Provider Status Card.
- NRP Online Exam certificate of completion - dated within 12-months of the NRP Instructor Workshop that you plan to attend.
If you need to complete the NRP Online Exam:

- There is a cost of $58 to complete the NRP Online Exam that needs to be paid online at the time of registration.
- Applications will be reviewed to ensure that NRP instructor candidates meet the eligibility criteria.
3. After completion of the NRP Instructor Workshop, instructor candidates will be required to complete a "Team Teach" of at least one NRP Provider course with an NRP Instructor Trainer or experienced instructor delegate.
4. The final step to become an NRP Instructor is to complete an NRP Registration Form and submit the completed form and $135 registration fee to the CPS.
