PALS FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need current BLS to take PALS?

Yes — AHA requires current BLS to take PALS. If your BLS is expired, take the BLS + PALS bundle instead and save $45.

Which format should I pick?

HeartCode is the fastest — online cognitive at your pace, short in-person skills check. Blended uses HeartCode online + scheduled skills. Classroom is full in-person (Lake City only). Skills Only is for renewals or learners who completed an approved online course elsewhere.

Do I get an official AHA eCard?

Yes. Every successful completion issues an official American Heart Association PALS Provider eCard accepted by every U.S. hospital.

How long is the eCard valid?

2 years. Renewal can be done through any of the same formats.

Can I reschedule?

Yes — rescheduling is free up to 24 hours before your appointment. Add Cancellation Protection at checkout for a flat $4 to skip the $25 late fee.
