About this course

This course illustrates Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedures for infants and children, along with the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). It is designed for parents, educators, and anyone wishing to acquire pediatric first aid skills. The program is structured into practical modules with interactive exercises, where an AI-based simulator allows practice of correct sequences and identification of common errors. The course provides foundational training and does not replace certified courses or professional medical advice.
