HEALTH & SAFETY COURSES
Adult, Child, and Infant First Aid/CPR/AED
- Red Cross: Adult, Child, and Infant First Aid/CPR/AED
- Health & Safety Institute: Pediatric First Aid/Child and Infant CPR and AED
- AHA Heart Saver: Pediatric First Aid with Child-Infant CPR
The goal of this class is for participants to gain or improve knowledge and skill proficiency in pediatric first aid and child and infant CPR AED. The course equips students to recognize and care for a variety of first aid breathing and cardiac emergencies involving adult’s children and babies. In this course you’ll learn both first aid and CPR. In the classroom you’ll watch a video. The video will show you how to give first aid and CPR and help you practice skills. An instructor will coach and test you. Child injury is preventable. Safe practices, equipment, and proper supervision by parents, guardians, and childcare providers can prevent many child injuries from occurring. However, once an injury or sudden illness has occurred, effective pediatric first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) can save lives, prevent permanent disability, and improve recovery.
