NRP Skills Certification
Neonatal CPR training introduces you to the differences from traditional CPR and is essential for anyone who works around newborns. At Lifework Education, we enable healthcare providers and medical professionals to save newborn lives with confidence and clarity.
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) empowers healthcare teams and professionals dedicated to newborn care with the skills to perform highly efficient resuscitation. Through rigorous training in the most current, research-backed methods by the AHA™ and AAP™, the NRP program is committed to enhancing survival rates for newborns.

Course Description
In the NRP Advanced Skills Assessment, medical providers will be tested on skills learned in basic and advanced steps of neonatal resuscitation. Lifework Education's Neonatal Resuscitation Program is for medical professionals who have already completed the Online NRP Advanced Modules on the RQI Platform website and work in pediatric neonatal.
Based on the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association™ (AHA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics™ (AAP), our instructors are highly trained and experienced healthcare professionals who teach lifesaving neonatal resuscitation techniques. Every skill and strategy we cover in our neonatal resuscitation training is based on facts and proven protocols.
Healthcare professionals who attend births and are responsible for the resuscitation of newborns with known risk factors or medical professionals who participate beyond Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) should take the Neonatal Resuscitation Advanced Course. NRP Advanced is suited for health care professionals who serve as members of the resuscitation team in the delivery room or in settings where complex neonatal resuscitation is required.
Please Note: The NRP Advanced Course may be appropriate for health care professionals in smaller facilities with fewer personnel where most healthcare professionals attending births or caring for newborns are expected to participate in newborn resuscitation.
Who should take this course?
Any healthcare professional who plays a role in newborn resuscitation should take the NRP certification course. This includes physicians, nurses, certified nurse midwives, advanced practice nurses, respiratory therapists, licensed midwives and other healthcare professionals who provide direct care during neonatal resuscitation.
In neonatal care, every provider involved needs to be able to communicate and work together to render lifesaving care. This course encourages you to collaborate with others when necessary and take control when time is of the essence.
