Self-Guided Learning is a type of education delivery where students complete a cognitive learning portion of training online, then complete a hands-on skills portion of training at an approved CPR Verification Station.(link opens in new window)
CPR Verification Station learning centers provide objective coached feedback to enable learners to verify skills competency.

Instructor-led Training (ILT): This course option is led by a PALS Instructor in a classroom setting. The Training Center may choose for students to complete online video prework lessons before coming to class, or may choose to conduct a traditional PALS course, where all video lessons are conducted in class as interactive discussions with the students. Full Course and Update Course options remain available.
The PALS course uses precourse preparation, didactic instruction, and active participation in learning stations and simulated cases to enhance the recognition and intervention of respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest.

Blended Learning: HeartCode PALS Online is the American Heart Association’s blended learning delivery method for PALS. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on skills session.
HeartCode PALS Online uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets students on the most efficient path to PALS mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance and their self-reported confidence level related to each probe. The course content is presented in the form of self-guided learning content, probes, and Cognitive Assessment Activities. After completing the online portion, students will attend a structured, Instructor-led hands-on session that focuses on meaningful skills practice, debriefing, team scenarios, discussions of local protocols and skills testing.
Where available, students may also complete the hands-on session with a HeartCode compatible manikin.

HeartCode® Complete offers the next step in resuscitation training with the use of the CPR Verification Station. HeartCode Complete allows learners to fully complete their PALS training at their own pace.
By combining comprehensive online learning with hands-on skills practice and testing, HeartCode Complete offers consistent, high-quality resuscitation training at a pace suited for every individual.

Approximate course completion times are listed below. Times are based on a recommended ratio of 6 students to 1 Instructor to 1 manikin or station (NOTE: the CPR and AED and Management of Respiratory Emergencies stations require 1 Instructor and 2 manikins for 6 students per station). Using different ratios will result in increased course completion times.
