About this exam
The American Red Cross Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED course is designed for people responsible for infants and children, including early-childhood educators, daycare staff, babysitters, and other caregivers. Employers or childcare licensing rules may require this certification, but requirements vary by state and role. It is a training and skills-certification course, not a competitive entrance exam: participants learn how to respond to emergencies and must meet the course’s completion requirements.
Topics commonly include scene safety and the Check-Call-Care response, initial assessment and ongoing monitoring, pediatric illness and injury, and when to activate emergency services. CPR instruction covers infant and child compressions, rescue breaths, and AED use; choking response may also be included. Course format and evaluation details can depend on the class and delivery option. For early-childhood settings, prepare to apply the steps to realistic scenarios, not just recall definitions.
How to prepare for Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED
- Review the American Red Cross course materials and current course information first; confirm with your employer or state licensing agency which certification and delivery format they accept.
- Study scene safety, Check-Call-Care, initial assessment, and ongoing monitoring, then practice explaining what you would do in an infant or child emergency.
- Review infant and child CPR, rescue breaths, AED steps, and choking response. Use timed multiple-choice practice to check recall, but also rehearse the hands-on skills required by your course.
