Pediatric Advanced Life Support

(PALS) Provider Course

Now updated to the 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines.

The AHA's Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course is a classroom, Instructor-led course which uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies. This course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare professionals to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, arrhythmias, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high-performance team dynamics and high-quality individual skills. The AHA's PALS course has been updated to reflect science and education from the American Heart Association 2025 Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.

This is the International version of the PALS Course. The training materials have been updated to include metric units of measure and other references that do not apply to students in the U.S. and Canada.
