How to Get Ready

The PALS Provider Course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting. Because the PALS Provider Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

Precourse Requirements

You should prepare for the course as follows:

Bring your 2020 PALS Provider Manual #20-1119 with you to the course.
BLS competency: Be prepared to pass the 1- and 2-Rescuer Child BLS With AED and 1- and 2-Rescuer Infant BLS Skills Tests. You will not be taught how to do CPR or how to use an AED during the course. You must know this in advance. The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge are current. Review and understand all 2020 BLS guidelines, especially as they relate to pediatric patients. You may find this information in the BLS for Healthcare Providers Student Manual or in other publications based on the 2020 AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
Complete the online Pals pre course work and self-assessment test. To take assessment, go to www.elearning.heart.org sign in, click tab find a course, scroll down to the bottom (28 boxes, no fee) you will see Complete self-assessment test (not international). Must score 70% or higher. Print results and bring to class
PALS algorithms and flowcharts: Be familiar with the PALS algorithms and flowcharts so that you can apply them to clinical scenarios. Note that the PALS Course does not present the details of each algorithm.
