About this exam
The American Heart Association Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED course trains people to respond to medical emergencies involving infants and children. It is commonly taken by daycare, preschool, and other childcare personnel whose employer, licensing rules, or state requirements call for pediatric first aid and CPR training. The course is also open to others seeking these skills. It is course-based certification, not a competitive admissions exam. Participants who meet course requirements can receive an AHA course completion card; confirm local requirements with an employer or licensing authority.
Course topics include scene safety and emergency action plans, recognizing emergencies and activating EMS, and assessing infants and children. Learners also cover child and infant CPR, chest compressions, rescue breaths, AED use, choking response, and relevant first-aid situations. Assessment generally includes knowledge checks and hands-on skills evaluation, with details depending on the course format and provider. To prepare, review the current AHA course materials and practice applying the response sequence to scenarios, rather than memorizing isolated answers.
