Pediatric First-aid (EMSA Approved) – Title 22
The American Heart Association Pediatric First-aid course is approved by Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) for child care in Contra Costa County. This is a first-aid class only. If you need both CPR and First-aid, please register for that class.

Course Length: 4 hours (per State Law)
Cost: $70 (cash or check made to STS)
Certification: American Heart Association
Card valid: 2 years, receive card on class day
Location: 785 Oak Grove Road, Ste. U, Concord
Course Content
Students learn how to use an EPi pen, bandaging, glove removal, splinting, and how to conduct an interview of an injured victim. Other topics include: bee stings, allergic reactions, snake bites, shock, amputations, seizures, and other first-aid emergencies. This course is First-aid only. If you need to take both Pediatric CPR and First-aid, please register for that class. You can also take CPR on one day and then Pediatric First-aid on another day.
Who should take this class
People who own a family day care in their home or child care center staff who need EMSA certification.
Certification
After successful completion, students will receive the official American Heart Association Pediatric First-aid certification card, which is valid for two years and the firstaid book.
Warning
There are a few companies in the Bay Area who claim their courses are EMSA approved, but they not approved. In order to receive valid certification, you must either take the 4 hour EMSA first-aid course and receive a sticker, or take the 4 hour Pediatric first-aid class by the American Heart Association. Safety Training Seminars is listed on the EMSA’s website of approved vendors for this class. Also online first-aid classes are not accepted by EMSA.
Class Time
According to State Law, the Pediatric First-aid class must be 4 hours long. If you find a class that is less than 4 hours, it will not be accepted by licensing and you would be forced to take the class again and pay for the class again. It does not matter if you are renewing or if it is your first time taking first-aid.

Cancellation Policy
We have a very relaxed cancellation policy. You only pay for the class if you arrive. If you do not show up, you do not pay. However, if you want to cancel for any reason, please email us back so we can give your spot to someone else. Thanks.
Class Cancellation Policy
We do not cancel our first-aid classes – even if only one person is registered. I know some other first-aid companies cancel their courses the day before the training, if there is low attendance. But we do not cancel our courses.

We have will granola bars, tea, coffee, and soda in the classroom.
Classroom
