When I became a father, I became more aware of how important life saving skills are. Every parent needs to be confident in these skills.
But when I looked around my classes, I realized no parents were there- taking traditional First Aid courses. Parents need this information, but they were not getting it because of the barriers the system creates by certification time limits.
New moms can't take a full 2 day course, that's never going to happen. They can barely manage a bathroom break, much less 16 hours in a classroom!
Even shorter Child First Aid courses are too long for most parents.
And then, my years of experience teaching and my newfound level of understanding and appreciation, for how valuable time is as a parent, merged.
That's when the Infant and Child Choking, CPR and AED Online Workshop for Parents was born.
