WHAT YOU MUST BRING TO CLASS:

  • The PALS Precourse assessment, located at https://elearning.heart.org/course/426. YOU MUST BRING A COPY OF YOUR PRETEST RESULTS TO CLASS. If you cannot print your results, send a screenshot to PALSProgram@childrensnational.org. Those without a copy of the pretest will not be permitted to stay and will need to reschedule. Also, for those looking to focus their pre-course study, the results of the pretest give you a good idea of what you should look over in the textbook prior to class.
  • Please bring a copy of your current PALS card to class. Alternatively you can email a copy of your card to PALSProgram@childrensnational.org. The American Heart Association requires that any student enrolled in a PALS Renewal has a current PALS card. If you are unable to produce a copy of your current card, please contact the PALS Program BEFORE your class. Anyone who is unable to produce a copy of their PALS card and who doesn’t contact the PALS Program prior to class will not be permitted to stay and will need to reschedule.

Current valid PALS Provider card and a completed pre-course exam.
