At ACLSFAST.COM (Repeat/Return TX clients only), we offer medical professionals (unfortunately, we can not extend our services to Alaska residents) the opportunity to meet their recertification requirements with PALS online. Participants in our courses have the convenience of studying from their homes or workplaces while still meeting the continuing education requirements for their professions.
Our PALS online certification course is designed to accommodate participants’ busy lifestyles and personal needs. Individuals can choose the study materials that best suit their learning styles and study at their own pace. The materials for the certification exam are based on the most current published clinical recommendations of the American Heart Association (AHA).
It is strongly recommended that you use this course to your benefit only if you have previously taken and passed a PALS provider course, as you will need to pass the online exam/skills check-off. The exam is for medical professionals renewing or recertifying their PALS credentials, not those initially taking their certification.
If you need to retake the exam, you will be allowed to do so, up to three times, If after three attempts you are still unable to pass the written exam, you will need to take the additional time needed to study and return only when you are absolutely ready to retake the exam. If you fail a third time, you will not be given a fourth (free) attempt, so study hard.
The final written exam is comprised of 33 multiple-choice questions. (We highly suggest taking a practice exam.) Once the exam is completed, it is graded immediately, and a grade is shown. Users must score at least 84% to pass. Certification is good for twenty-four months and follows the most current ECC-compliant guidelines.
Once you have chosen and paid for a course, you may log on anytime. Review the education material and print any that you wish to print. It’s all done at your own pace. When you are ready, take the examination in the comfort of your own home or office. You will have four hours to complete your exam once you have begun.
An e-card will be emailed to you. Please allow 7-10 business days for delivery. Cards are sent out during normal business hours. If you have completed the test outside of business hours, your card will be mailed the next day.
