Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) - RENEWAL
Date/Time: Fri 7/10/2026 at 9:00 AM
Location: CPR Center
Class Price: $145.00

The renewal course is for students who hold a CURRENT American Heart Association PALS certification. If your eCard is expired or is not an official American Heart Association certification, you must register under the PALS Initial Course.

Students must provide proof of their current PALS Provider card. If proof is not provided prior to the course, the student will be required to pay for and complete the initial course. If you completed your most recent PALS class with us, we have that information on file and you may disregard.

Target Audience:

The PALS course is intended for healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children and for personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units. Please contact your employer to ensure that you are selecting the correct course.

What does this course teach?

  • High‐quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) per American Heart Association (AHA) basic life support (BLS) recommendations
  • Difference between patients who do and do not require immediate intervention
  • Early recognition of cardiopulmonary arrest
  • Team dynamics
  • Difference between respiratory distress and failure
  • Early interventions for respiratory distress and failure
  • Compensated and decompensated (hypotensive) shock
  • Early interventions for the treatment of shock
  • Clinical characteristics of instability in patients with arrhythmias
  • Post–cardiac arrest management

 

Requirements: Students must pass a written test and a skills test to successfully complete the course. Completion of the AHA’s PALS Precourse Self-Assessment with a score of at least 70% is required prior to the day of the course. More information is provided on the class registration page and in the course confirmation email.

Course Length: 9:00am-5:00pm

Course Completion Cards:

Upon completion of all course requirements, participants receive a Provider Course Completion eCard which is valid for two years.

CEUs:

The American Heart Association is not an accrediting agency. Please contact your accrediting body to see if they will accept/award CE credits for this or any other AHA course you complete successfully. That authority comes from accrediting bodies. For example, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) approves many of our courses for CE credits for nurses. In the same way, other accrediting bodies may award credits for this or any other AHA course. Your HR department may also be able to help you identify sources for CE credits.

Would you like to add a Student Manual, Reference Card Set, or ECC Handbook? (Purchasing study materials is highly recommended. These materials can be used to prepare for the course, during the course, and while testing.) Please also indicate if you need the BLS Provider Course.
