Overview

Course Description:      

The PALS Instructor Essentials Course is designed to prepare instructor candidates to teach AHA Instructor-led and blended learning courses. The course educates instructor candidates on how to adequately use AHA Instructor teaching materi­als, ensure that students meet learning objectives, offer student coaching skills, provide an objective skills performance evaluation, and follow AHA Instructor and course poli­cies. The course covers core content and discipline-specific content required to teach AHA courses.

The PALS Instructor Essentials Course is taught in a blended-learning format. AHA PALS Instructor candidates must complete the online portion, fol­lowed by the hands-on session conducted by PALS Training Center Faculty.

Prior to taking this course, candidates must have a current PALS Provider course completion card. Candidates who successfully complete the PALS Instructor Essentials Course, followed by course monitoring, will receive a PALS Instructor card, valid for two years. PALS Instructors are then able to teach PALS Provider and HeartCode PALS Hands-on Sessions, as well as the PEARS Instructor-led Course.
