When you enroll in Advanced Life Support (ALS) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training from the American Red Cross you'll gain the knowledge and skills you need to provide advanced care to your community. Designed specifically for healthcare providers and first responders, our courses will not only help you learn to assess, recognize and provide high-quality care to adult and pediatric patients experiencing life-threatening medical emergencies, including shock, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory events, but will also streamline your resuscitation training, improve skills retention, and better serve patients.

 

Both the ALS and PALS training curriculums are scientifically equivalent to other courses, including all standard scientific learning objectives necessary for professional certification, including rhythm interpretation, electrical interventions, and pharmacologic knowledge. In addition, through the use of interactive scenarios, they will also challenge your critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, which can help you respond on the scene with ease and confidence, and ultimately help you better serve your community. Upon successful completion of the ALS or PALS course(s), you'll receive a two-year certification.
