Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED is intended for those involved in childcare who have a duty to respond to illnesses and injuries in a child or infant in the first few minutes until professional help arrives. This audience includes childcare workers, teachers, foster care workers, camp counselors, youth organizations, and coaches for children’s sports organizations. This course is also ideal for parents, grandparents, extended family, babysitters, and guardians.
This in-depth 8-hour course is longer than required by the American Heart Association. We will spend ample time on each subject while reenforcing topics already covered to ensure retention. We also mix in simulation, using light special effects for wound care.
