The Health & Safety Institute (HSI) Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid Blended-Learning course is designed for individuals who need or want certification in pediatric first aid, CPR, and AED—especially childcare providers, teachers, babysitters, and others who work with children. The course builds knowledge, hands-on skills, and confidence to respond to medical emergencies involving infants, children, and some adult situations. The training is delivered in a blended format consisting of an online portion and an in-person skills session. The online portion is self-paced and covers interactive modules, video segments, and essential knowledge content, which must be completed before attending the in-person session. The in-person session provides hands-on practice with an instructor, including demonstrations and skills practice on manikins and AED trainers. Course topics include scene safety, assessment, infection control, CPR for infants, children, and adults, use of an AED, relief of choking, and first aid skills such as bleeding control, bandaging, treating injuries, medical emergencies, and the use of epinephrine auto-injectors. Upon successful completion of both parts of the course, participants receive a certification card valid for two years. Completion of both the online and hands-on sessions is required, as online training alone is not sufficient. The course emphasizes proper instructor-to-student ratios and the use of appropriate training equipment to ensure effective skill practice.
