Does Pennsylvania PQAS apply to me? / Are your instructors PQAS Certified?

Pennsylvania P Q A S currently only applies to people who work in daycares or Pre-K institutions. Daycares and other childcare services need to be registered with the state of Pennsylvania. To do so they must receive CPR training from a state-certified PQAS instructor. Meaning a BLS Instructor card alone would not be accepted unless from a state-certified PQAS instructor. 

Please note that this does not apply to healthcare workers or anyone outside of a Pre-K work field. 

Yes, our instructors are certified through Pennsylvania PQAS. Please let us know if you need a PQAS certificate with you CPR card.
