Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid/CPR/AED Online

The American Red Cross’s pediatric course uses interactive scenarios to teach recognition and response concepts involving children and babies. Its age-specific scope distinguishes it from adult-only training. The online sequence provides an opportunity to work through simulated decisions, while practical skill demonstration requires a different training format.

What you will learn

• Recognize pediatric emergency-learning topics
• Work through age-specific simulated scenarios
• Understand the difference between online learning and assessed skills

Who this suits

For parents, caregivers and others seeking pediatric-focused learning who will separately verify any workplace or childcare training requirements.

Before you enroll

The page estimates 2 hours 25 minutes and specifies a computer or tablet with a high-speed connection, not a smartphone. It explicitly states that an online completion certificate does not meet OSHA requirements. Employers and childcare authorities may require instructor-led or blended practical assessment.

Paid online enrollment is offered by the American Red Cross. Check current device support, access conditions and whether separate instructor-led or blended training is required for your purpose before purchasing.

Put it into practice

Prepare questions for a qualified pediatric first-aid trainer about the needs of your setting. Check how emergency contacts and care plans are kept current, without treating the online simulation as evidence of physical competence.
