CPR
In Pennsylvania and most other States, if you NEED to have CPR certification for medical related work or school, you will need American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers. Other brands will NOT be accepted by your school or employer.
If you are required to have CPR for non-medical employment or school, the requirements are less stringent. Basically, any in-person class with an instructor will work.
Pediatric CPR and First Aid
In Pennsylvania, Daycare workers or anyone with a State mandate to obtain certification for work involving children, you must have training that which specifies "Pediatric". It is important that your First Aid card specifically states "Pediatric" for both CPR and First Aid. If not, you certification may be rejected by your employer. Update: Starting in 2022 the State requires Childcare and Daycare workers to receive their Pediatric CPR and First Aid training from a registered PQAS provider. Lancaster CPR is a registered PQAS provider.
First Aid
The requirements for First-Aid training are less stringent. Generally, any in-person or hybrid online training is adequate. The specific brand is not as important but only the American Heart Association is universally accepted.
