This online service was amazing! I was able to do the classes on my own time. I am a mom of 2 and being able to do the online portion around my kids’ schedule is perfect! I scheduled the hands-on training locally and the instructions to find the location were very easy. Everything was as described! Super easy! Highly recommend!

I recently completed my EMT training, but for work needed an AHA CPR card specifically. My instructor Jullie did a great job with me and the two other students in my time slot, and the class went very smoothly. I would recommend calling to confirm which card you’ll be getting if that’s relevant to you, as the first time i signed up for a class it turned out I was going to get a Red Cross card. The employee on the phone was very helpful and figured everything out for me.

I had to do my recertification, and I loved that I had to due modules at home on my own time and on my laptop. After you pass the modules you go into there location and do a set of CPR on an adult dummy and a baby dummy. Won't lie was a little difficult but they you get the hang of it. If you do 7am there is Noone there so you can focus on your CPR! My friend recommended this location and I will recommend this location as well.

What a cool experience. At first I was very nervous with the thought of no instructor present, but the demonstration videos and the chance to practice made it very helpful to understand what was expected. Overall great experience. Would come back to renew, thank you. 👍

I had a great experience with Safety Seminars! The instructions were clear, easy to follow, and well organized. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was helpful, professional, and responsive to any questions I had. I truly appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure everything was explained thoroughly and that I felt supported throughout the process. I’m very grateful for the positive experience.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) focuses on recognising and managing life-threatening emergencies in infants and children, including respiratory distress, shock, and cardiac arrest. ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) is designed for adult patients and covers advanced management of cardiac emergencies, stroke, and cardiovascular events. Healthcare professionals who treat both adult and pediatric patients may be required to hold both certifications.

The PALS course follows a blended learning format. You’ll complete the online learning portion at your own pace before attending a short, instructor-led skills session at one of our California training centres. This combines the flexibility of online study with the practical assessment required for American Heart Association certification.

Yes. Once you’ve successfully completed your hands-on skills session, you’ll receive your official American Heart Association PALS Provider eCard the same day. This allows you to provide proof of certification to your employer immediately.

The AHA Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course is designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively recognize and manage respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children. The course emphasizes high-quality team-based care, advanced resuscitation interventions, and application of systematic approaches to pediatric emergencies.

PALS Certification is typically required for healthcare professionals who provide direct care to pediatric patients or respond to pediatric emergencies. This includes physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, emergency department staff, and critical care personnel working in hospitals, clinics, or pre-hospital settings.

Participants can expect a combination of instructor-led training, interactive lectures, video-based modules, and hands-on learning stations. The course includes pediatric assessment strategies, airway management, rhythm recognition, pharmacology, and simulation-based scenarios focused on teamwork and communication. A written exam and skills testing are required for successful completion.

AHA PALS Certification is valid for two years from the date of completion. To renew, participants must complete an official PALS renewal course that reviews core skills, updates, and current guidelines. Renewal courses are typically shorter than initial certification classes, as they focus on reinforcing knowledge and addressing recent guideline changes.

Yes. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of pediatric basic life support, ECG rhythm interpretation, and common emergency medications. Completion of pre-course self-assessment and pre-reading materials is required to ensure readiness for advanced topics. Familiarity with pediatric vital signs, anatomy, and clinical decision-making is strongly encouraged.
