Are you a healthcare provider who needs to earn or renew your American Heart Association's (AHA) Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification card - but do not have the time needed to complete a traditional classroom course? If so, Florida Training Academy offers the AHA's Online PALS courses and PALS Skills Testing sessions in Jacksonville.

We offer flexible schedules and understand the needs of healthcare professionals. Urgent and same-day classes may be available for an additional fee of $50.

The AHA’s Heartcode Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC. This classroom, Instructor-led course uses a series of videos and simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The goal of the PALS Course is to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in improved outcomes.
