This is a two-part course for pediatric ventilator certification. It includes an online study course and a four-hour classroom skills checkoff.

• Information about the topic with details about key concepts.
• A lecture and learning activities that apply concepts from the lecture.
• A post test.

The skills checkoff is a four-hour classroom session. It gives you hands-on experience with tracheostomy care and the ventilator. The class also works through case scenarios to reinforce information learned in the online course.
