Chicago's Pulse July 13, 2026 CPR AED

Discover essential CPR skills for infants and children in our Heartsaver courses. Gain confidence in lifesaving techniques with our AHA-authorized training.

Understanding CPR for Infants and Children

As instructors at Chicago's Pulse, we know that parents want to be prepared for any emergency involving their children. CPR is a crucial skill that can make all the difference in a critical situation. In our Heartsaver courses, we equip parents with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to confidently perform CPR on infants and children.

What to Expect in Our Classes

Our classes are designed with the latest 2020 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC in mind. We ensure that every parent leaves with a deep understanding of CPR techniques specific to infants and children. Here's what you can expect:

  • Hands-On Practice: We emphasize the importance of hands-on training. You'll practice chest compressions and rescue breaths on manikins designed to simulate real-life scenarios.
  • AED Usage: Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are a vital part of the CPR process. We teach you how to use these devices effectively, ensuring you're prepared no matter where an emergency occurs.
  • Local Context: Our training incorporates scenarios you may encounter in Chicago's schools, workplaces, and public spaces. This context makes our courses practical and relevant.

Why Certification Matters

Certification is more than just a piece of paper; it's a testament to your skills and readiness to act in an emergency. With mid-year certification renewals in full swing, now is a perfect time to ensure your skills are current. Our courses are designed to fit into your schedule, offering flexibility without compromising on quality.

Summer Safety Reminders

As summer approaches, children are more active and the risk of accidents can increase. Whether you're at a backyard barbecue or a local pool, having CPR training can be a lifesaver. Our classes will prepare you for these common summer scenarios, ensuring you're ready to respond swiftly and effectively.

Career Growth and Confidence

For those in healthcare or aspiring to join the field, CPR certification can be a stepping stone to further opportunities. Our CNA certification program is one such pathway, offering comprehensive training that builds on your CPR skills.
