California childcare providers are required to complete Pediatric CPR and First Aid training, along with EMSA Health, Safety, Nutrition, and Lead Poisoning Prevention courses to meet California licensing requirements. These courses help childcare professionals develop the skills needed to respond to medical emergencies, prevent injuries, and provide a safe, healthy environment for the children in their care.
CPR and First-aid is required or recommended for the following professions: office workers, social workers, coaches, summer camp counselors, parents, grandparents, babysitters (over 10), teachers, construction workers, personal trainers, security guards, electricians, emergency response teams, security guards, hotel staff, ski patrol staff, or anyone else who wants to be prepared for an emergency.
We offer convenient online-only courses that allow participants to learn important safety skills at their own pace. Online courses include Bloodborne Pathogens, which teaches how to recognize and respond to exposure to infectious materials, and Opioid Education, which covers overdose recognition, prevention, and naloxone administration. The Pet First Aid course helps pet owners respond to common emergencies involving dogs and cats.
