We teach instructor led CPR, AED and first aid certification in Shrewsbury Pennsylvania, with courses that focus on practical skills, scenario practice and confidence under pressure.
Our presence in Shrewsbury
Care First Education is based nearby in Stewartstown and we serve Shrewsbury and the surrounding neighborhoods of York County. We work with daycare centers, schools, community groups and small businesses that need clear certification pathways and hands on readiness. The short travel distance from our base means we can schedule courses at local community centers, childcare facilities and workplace locations when space and timing fit your group.
Our instructors are certified through PQAS and our course offerings include American Red Cross First Aid and American Heart Association Basic Life Support. We also teach emergency response skills such as tourniquet application, naloxone administration and anaphylaxis response, and we supply first aid kits reviewed by a FEMA certified registered nurse.
