Why Choose Online PALS Certification?
Pediatric resuscitation hinges on weight-based dosing, age-specific assessment, and recognizing respiratory failure before it becomes arrest. Those are knowledge skills, and they're well-suited to self-paced study where you can sit with a Broselow chart open and actually work through scenarios at your own speed.
PALS is also a course many providers take only every two years. The certification burden is real — a full in-person class can be a lost workday. Online lets you work through pediatric megacodes, and be back to your normal schedule the same evening.
Our PALS certification is accepted nationwide by most pediatric clinics, urgent cares, and many hospital systems. Check your employer's policy first if you're unsure — and if they don't accept it, we refund you in full.

Frequently Asked Questions About PALS Certification
Got questions? We've got answers.
How is PALS different from ACLS?
PALS focuses specifically on infants and children, while ACLS covers adult cardiac emergencies. PALS addresses pediatric-specific issues like respiratory failure, upper-airway obstruction, weight-based dosing, and pediatric arrhythmias with age-appropriate algorithms. Many pediatric and ED roles require both.
Is online PALS certification accepted by employers?
Our online PALS certification is accepted nationwide by most pediatric clinics, urgent cares, and many hospital systems. Employer policies vary, so confirm with your credentialing or HR office before enrolling. If your employer rejects it, we refund you in full.
How long does the course take and how many exam attempts do I get?
Most providers finish PALS certification in 3–5 hours, fully self-paced. The exam is included with unlimited attempts, so you can review explanations and retake it as many times as needed at no extra cost.
What is the passing score?
You need to score at least 80% on the final exam to pass and receive your provider card. Detailed explanations are available between attempts so you can target weak areas — pediatric weight-based dosing is a common one.
When do I get my PALS provider card?
Your digital PALS provider card is available for download instantly after you pass the final exam — no waiting period. Save the PDF, print a wallet card, and send it to credentialing the same day.
Do I need PALS certification or recertification?
Choose certification if this is your first time, or if your previous PALS card has been expired for a long time. Choose recertification if you currently hold — or recently held — a valid PALS card and just need to renew it.
What is your money-back guarantee?
If your employer rejects our PALS certification for any reason, contact us with proof and we'll issue a full refund.
