Medic First Aid International, Inc.
Pediatric Plus,
First Aid/CPR Plus AED Training

The Girl Scout Council of the Apalachee Bend, Inc. is excited to present Medic First Aid Pediatric Plus first aid/cpr/aed training on our training schedule on a regular basis for the first time this year. This is the most recent course added to GSUSA’s list of approved courses for first aid/cpr training in Safety-Wise. The relaxed atmosphere adds to the ease with which you learn about your role as a first aid provider and practice your hands-on skills with a Medic First Certified Instructor. This video-based training is approximately 6 hours in length. You receive your card by passing a skills demonstration and a written, open-book test.

You will leave this class with your book, your card, a patch, and a two-year certification. Cross-over and retraining options are also available. Call Anne Hallman, Training Manager, at (850) 544-3411 for additional information.

If you need First Aid/CPR Certification and are unable to attend our scheduled sessions, the American Red Cross Chapters in Panama City and Tallahassee offer courses on a frequent basis that satisfy GSCAB and Safety-Wise requirements. Certification is offered through both the Tallahassee and Panama City chapters of the American Red Cross. Visit the respective websites for class information, dates and times.
