FAQ

Can I take BLS on the same day as PALS?

Yes. When enrolling for PALS, you may choose to add BLS.

My PALS card expired. Can I still take the renewal class?

Due to COVID-19, are you teaching virtually or offering online classes?

Although we do offer other classes virtually, the AHA requires that CPR/BLS, ACLS, and PALS students come into our facility to perform hands-on skills in the classroom. Students have two options: 1. Traditional classroom course. 2. Complete the online course and exam, then come in for the skills session.
