PEDIATRIC FIRST AID CPR CERTIFICATION
PEDIATRIC CPR CLASSES & CPR CERTIFICATION IN NEW JERSEY, PA, NY, FL
Even if you’re familiar with adult CPR, performing CPR on an infant or child requires different, age-specific techniques. Because children’s bodies are smaller and more fragile, improper CPR can cause harm. That’s why it’s essential to learn from American Heart Association (AHA)-certified instructors.
​
At CPR Certification Solutions, our Pediatric CPR classes teach parents, caregivers, and babysitters how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in infants and children. You’ll gain hands-on experience recognizing early signs of respiratory distress, the most common cause of pediatric cardiac arrest.
Our AHA Pediatric CPR course covers:
​
-
Asthma or allergic reactions (EpiPen use)
-
Head injuries or loss of consciousness
​
This CPR certification class also includes the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other critical safety procedures.
Earn your Pediatric CPR Certification in New Jersey (and other states) and gain the skills, confidence, and knowledge to save a child’s life when every second counts.

Pediatric CPR Classes for Parents, Caregivers & Babysitters
Our American Heart Association (AHA)-certified instructors will prepare you to recognize and respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in infants and children. During this pediatric CPR course, you’ll gain the confidence to act quickly and correctly when every second matters.
The training also includes hands-on AED instruction, teaching you how and when to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) — a portable device that can deliver an electric shock to help restore a child’s normal heart rhythm.
Learning CPR and AED use for infants and children is one of the most important skills you can develop. Completing a Pediatric CPR certification course gives you the ability to protect the lives of those who depend on you most.
While no one ever expects to perform CPR, especially on an infant or child, knowing how to respond in an emergency can make all the difference. If your baby or child stopped breathing, would you know what to do?
​
Being prepared to perform pediatric CPR is essential, as it restores vital blood flow to the brain and other organs. Without oxygen, brain damage can occur in just minutes — and immediate CPR can save a life.
​
