Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Blended Learning Option
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is designed to provide pediatric healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children to help improve outcomes.
HeartCode® PALS is a web-based, self-directed, adaptive program that teaches healthcare providers knowledge and skills needed to recognize and prevent cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children.
The blended learning option for this course meets the same rigorous requirements as does the classroom-based course, but you have more flexibility on when you will complete your learning, which is done at your own pace online. So whether you choose this option or the classroom-based course, you will eventually receive the same Provider card after completing your skills session, in person, at one of our training facilities.
The time that it takes to complete the online portion varies from student to student.
Successful completion of the course results in the issuance of the American Heart Association PALS Provider card evidencing this accomplishment. Provider cards are valid for two years.
Part 1 of the class is delivered online through the American Heart Association. Parts 2 and 3 are completed in-person at one of our training facilities.

Steps to Completing Your Course
- Click on the button below to purchase your online course key and skills session. You will receive an immediate confirmation email that includes the course access code needed for the online component and the Promo Code to use when registering for the skills session registration. You do not need to schedule the skills session until you have completed the online course (Part 1).
- Once you have received your course access keycode in the confirmation email, go to https://elearning.heart.org. Click on the Activate a Course Key button.
- Complete the online portion of the course at a convenient time. The course can be paused and resumed as needed, so you do not need to complete the course in only one sitting. Make sure that you complete your course survey at the end of the course, as we will not be able to see your certificate of completion until that is done.
- Schedule your skills session on the Class Registration page of this website after completing the online module. You will select the "Skills Session Only" section to select a convenient time. You will be given a code to be entered in the Promo Code box during registration to waive the skills session fee - you need not pay additional if you purchase the entire blended learning course from us.
- Complete the Skills Session as scheduled and we will issue your completion eCard immediately following the session.
