The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in PALS and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course material, do not represent income to the association.
• Certification cards for PALS providers are valid for two years. It is the cardholder’s responsibility to contact a training center or institution to arrange for a renewal course and written exam.
• PALS provider and renewal courses are limited to the first 12 qualified pre-paid registrants.
