About the AHA PALS Provider Exam
AHA PALS is a pediatric emergency-care course for healthcare professionals. The instructor-led pathway requires an open-resource written exam at 84% or higher, infant and child BLS skills, and two core-case scenarios: one cardiac and one respiratory or shock. HeartCode uses adaptive cognitive learning followed by hands-on skills verification under its selected delivery pathway.
Exam sponsor: American Heart Association (AHA). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
