Our Program

CPR Family classes were formed to accomodate the busy schedules of parents and caregivers by providing concise, fun and informative Infant/Child CPR and Pediatric First Aid courses. The programs were developed with these things in mind:

1) Parents-to-be are in need of current, relevant information

2) Parents and parents-to-be want a program that will really focus on infants and children.

3) They want to safely and comfortably learn the skills they need, even during the final months of pregnancy, and older caregivers need the training without worrying about over-exertion or uncomfortable positions.

The CPR classes are fun, interactive and last approximately two hours.

 

Our Certification

Ideal for informal settings: family care-givers, nannies, babysitters

Our students can request a Family Caregiver Certificate of Participation which reflects competency in performing the skills necessary to provide Infant and Child CPR and Choke-Saving techniques or Infant/Child First Aid, taught using current national guidelines. This certification is valid for babysitters and nannies and relatives who give care to young ones, in an informal family setting.*

 

*For state-required certification, a full-day course which includes Adult CPR training from a national certifying organization such as the AHA or ARC may be mandated. Please check with your supervisor to determine whether this certification will fulfill employment requirements.
