Connecticut
In order for AHA’s pediatric first aid CPR AED training to meet Connecticut requirements, the Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED with Supplementary Materials Certificate must be issued by an AHA Instructor to the student that needs to satisfy Connecticut requirements for the Department of Public Health. The certificate should only be issued when the Instructor uses the supplementary materials for the state of Connecticut.
When the Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Course is taught with the supplementary materials and the certificate is issued along with the course completion card, the course becomes acceptable under State of Connecticut Department of Public Health Child Care Licensing regulations found at Section 19a-79-4a (e) (2) (A) (B) and (C). These regulations outline the minimum level at which a child care program may operate.

This certificate does not replace the AHA course completion card. Instructors must also issue a course completion card to participants who successfully complete a full AHA Heartsaver or Basic Life Support Blended Learning Course.
