Pediatric CPR & AED
Life-saving skills for breathing emergencies in children and infants.
This comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively recognize and respond to breathing emergencies in children and infants. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded a 2-year OSHA-approved certification, providing them with valuable credentials for employment in schools, childcare centers, camps, and other related settings.
Pediatric CPR requires different techniques than adult CPR — smaller compressions, gentler breaths, and a heightened awareness of infant anatomy. Our Pediatric CPR & AED course covers all age groups from newborns through adolescents, making it essential for parents, educators, childcare providers, and anyone who works with children. Tiara Blackwell’s engaging, compassionate instruction style makes this course accessible and memorable for participants of all backgrounds.
