The Infant and Child First Aid, CPR/AED class focuses on skills for helping children and infants. 

​

The purpose of the course if to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies. This will prepare you for caring for a suddenly injured or ill infant or child until more advanced medical personnel arrive to take over.

​

This class is a Hybrid Class which gives students the ability to do conceptual training online, then attend an in-person skills session to receive hands on practice and live feedback.

The online portion of this class can range from 45 minutes to 2 hours long depending on technology limitations and familiarity with the skills. Participants will receive a link via email after booking a class.  The link takes the participants to the Health Safety Institute website. The online portion must be completed before attending the scheduled in-person session. 

The in-person skills session typically lasts 2.5 to 3 hours. In this portion we review:​

• Child and Infant CPR and AED

• Child and Infant Choking Relief

• First Aid for a victim experiencing life threatening bleeding

• Severe Allergic Reaction

Participants who successfully complete the online and in-person portions will receive a Healthy Safety Institute Certification in Pediatric First Aid, CPR/AED.  Certificates are valid for two years and will be issued in about one business day after the in-person class. Certificates will be delivered digitally via email from Health Safety Institute.

This class is a Health Safety Institute class (HSI). Formerly known as ASHI.
