Need Infant CPR Training in El Paso?
It’s a Part of Our BLS Certification Class

CPR Certification El Paso does not offer an infant-only CPR class. What we offer is AHA BLS CPR Certification, a full hands-on certifying course that includes infant CPR technique as part of its curriculum. If you are looking for a course that covers infant CPR alongside adult and child CPR, AED use, and choking relief, AHA BLS may be worth considering. If your situation requires a course focused exclusively on infant CPR, we recommend seeking a program specifically designed for that purpose.

El Paso CPR Training Trusted By The Community

Official American Heart Association BLS CPR Training Site

How the AHA BLS Course Addresses Infant CPR

Infant CPR Skills Covered in the AHA BLS Course

Students practice infant CPR technique in class with real-time feedback from a certified AHA instructor. Hands-on practice on infant manikins is included as part of the AHA BLS class.

Infant Rescue Breaths and Choking Relief

During class you practice two-finger chest compressions on an infant manikin with a target depth of approximately 1.5 inches. The target compression rate is 100 to 120 per minute with full chest recoil between compressions. Rescue breaths are practiced and scaled to infant lung capacity. Infant choking relief is also covered, including back blows and chest thrusts for a responsive infant and the transition to CPR if the infant becomes unresponsive. A certified AHA instructor provides real-time feedback throughout and your infant CPR skills are assessed before your AHA BLS Certification card is issued.

All of this is practiced hands-on with a certified AHA instructor providing real-time feedback. Skills are assessed at the end of class before your card is issued. Our Basic Life Support CPR class includes infant CPR training within the broader AHA BLS curriculum, along with adult CPR, child CPR, AED use, and choking relief. It is not a dedicated Infant CPR class. Confirm the exact course name your employer, licensing agency, or family requires before enrolling.

Who Takes AHA BLS CPR Certification in El Paso

NEW AND EXPECTING PARENTS

AHA BLS is a complete certification course that includes infant CPR alongside adult and child CPR. New and expecting parents who want hands-on practice with infant technique in a certifying class often enroll. It is not an infant-only course.

CHILDCARE WORKERS AND DAYCARE STAFF

Texas childcare facilities often require current CPR credentials for directors and staff, which is why many childcare teams book AHA BLS. If your licensing board requires a course focused exclusively on infant CPR, confirm that before enrolling.

NANNIES AND AU PAIRS

Many families want nannies and au pairs to hold a current CPR credential before they begin working with infants and young children. AHA BLS gives them a recognized hands-on class that includes infant CPR as part of a complete curriculum.

BABYSITTERS

AHA BLS gives babysitters a recognized, hands-on certification that covers infant CPR as part of a complete course alongside child and adult CPR. It is not a course dedicated exclusively to infant CPR.

Frequently Asked Questions About AHA BLS CPR Classes in El Paso

No. CPR Certification El Paso does not offer a standalone infant CPR class.

If your employer, licensing board, or situation requires a course dedicated exclusively to infant CPR, seek a program specifically designed for that purpose.

AHA BLS stands for American Heart Association Basic Life Support.
