HeartCode® PALS
Hands-On Skill Session
American Heart Association
Pediatric Advanced Life Support
for Healthcare Providers
The American Heart Association HeartCode® PALS is the online version of PALS. It’s not 100% online though. You complete the lecture and exam online at your own pace and afterward, you come in for a hands-on skills session.
Purchase the HeartCode® PALS course at American Heart Association’s website (sold separately). Complete the online module which consists of multiple simulations and the written exam. Once completed you receive a completion certificate. Bring the certificate to your hands-on skill session.
The hands-on skill session consists of manikin practice and skills testing. Once completed you will received your American Heart Association PALS card the same-day of the course. Your PALS card will be identical to the classroom-based PALS card with no mention of being a “online” course.
