The Demand for Quality & Safety in Child Care has arrived with increasing legal responsibilities. In response to these obligations, Rockford Ambulance is offering Heartsaver CPR (AED) classes to child care providers. These CPR classes follow the American Heart Association guidelines for CPR (Child, Infant, & Adult) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training. Also offered is First Aid training. These condensed, yet interactive classes cover topics from Trauma (Bleeding, Burns & Fractures) to Sudden Illnesses (Medical & Environmental).  Combined CPR Certification and First Aid training classes are available

Our classes are regularly taught by ambulance & fire department personnel with real experiences. Since actual CPR is rarely performed, Rockford Ambulance instructors will emphasize key points surrounding the Initial Care of the critically ill and injured pediatrics you may encounter. Our instructors are equipped to answer questions that may go beyond the core requirements of the courses. Discussion is encouraged.

The process of setting up the classes has been simplified to facilitate efficiency. Materials are included. “Out-of-Area” locations* require a nominal site fee for the instructor. As indicated by previous participants and organizations, we believe the educational value of our programs has and will be proven.
