This is a blended learning course.

PALS is geared towards healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children and for personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a course completion card, valid for two years. 

Precourse Requirements

You are required to do the following:

  1. Complete the online PALS Heartcode, print your certificate of completion and bring it with you to the course. https://shopcpr.heart.org/courses/pals
  2. Review and understand the information in your PALS Provider Manual (you will gain access to this when you register for the Heartcode class as an E-book).
  3. Ensure that your BLS skills and knowledge are current for the resuscitation scenarios. You will be tested on adult high-quality BLS skills at the beginning of the PALS Course. You must know this in advance because you will not be taught how to do CPR or use an AED.
  4. Print your scores (certificate) for the Precourse Self-Assessment and bring them with you to class. A passing score is 70% or above, and you can take the Precourse Self-Assessment as many times as needed to achieve a passing score.

PALS Instructor Course

Blended Learning Instructor Course

The American Heart Association (AHA) requires that instructors be at least 18 years of age and licensed or certified in a healthcare occupation where the skills are within the provider’s scope of practice.

This two-day course certifies individuals to teach AHA Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses. It prepares instructors to lead both instructor-led and blended learning sessions designed for healthcare professionals who manage pediatric respiratory, cardiovascular emergencies, and cardiopulmonary arrest.

PALS Instructors are authorized to teach PALS Provider courses and are expected to have an in-depth understanding of pediatric emergency care. This course focuses on teaching and assessing PALS skills, rather than performing them. PALS instructor candidates must be PALS providers with significant clinical experience and a background in EMS education (e.g., MD, RN, Paramedic, AK-AEMT, EMT-3).

You are required to return the following day to teach a PALS class, where your teaching performance will be evaluated for certification. If for some reason it is not possible for you to attend the second day, please reach out to the IREMSC Training Coordinator to make other arrangements for you to be monitored.

Precourse Requirements:

  1. You must have a current AHA PALS Provider card.
  2. Purchase and complete the PALS Instructor Essentials online course separately through AHA's website at https://shopcpr.heart.org/courses/instructor-essentials.
