Child CPR Training or Pediatric First Aid Class?
Can somebody recommend a Child CPR Training or a Pediatric First Aid Class in or near Berkeley? I am looking for a one day training for parents and I don't need a certificate.
Thanks,

Maybe Birthways in Berkeley (www.birthways.org)? Or, if Oakland works for you, I took my Infant & Child CPR Class twice at Then Comes Baby (near Lake Merritt) with my husband and my parents and we all really thought it was excellent (www.then-comes-baby.com). I even had to use the choke saving skills on a toddler (not my own) and it was amazing how fast the skills came to me. (It was a big bite of burrito and the smushy tortilla and beans bound together to form a ball.) I was SO grateful for the class and just took it again because my memory was fuzzy on it after 1.5 years. It was still great the second time around!
Then Comes Baby offers Pediatric CPR and Choke Saving classes: http://then-comes-baby.com/classes/prenatal/infant-cpr-choke-saving/ I haven't taken it but plan to sign up.
Try Safety Training Seminars http://safetytrainingseminars.com/ They're based in SF but I know they have classes in Berkeley. UCSF uses them for Medical/healthcare professional CPR and advanced lifesaving, so they're legit.
My husband and I did a class for parents with Anna Griffith, and we really liked it.

I really liked the class at Then Comes Baby. It’s only CPR and it’s not for certification, but information-wise it’s great! I’m I nurse and I thought it was one of the more informative infant/child CPR classes I’ve done.
