AHA PALS Instructor class

The PALS Instructor class is designed to prepare instructor candidates to teach AHA instructor led PALS courses. It educates instructor candidates on how to use AHA instructor teaching materials, ensure that students meet the learning objectives, offer student coaching, provide objective skills performance evaluation and follow AHA instructor policies.

The purpose of an PALS Instructor Course is to develop proficiency in teaching, organizing, coordinating and conducting an PALS Provider Course. PALS Instructors must have a firm working knowledge and understanding of the PALS material. They are also expected to demonstrate in-depth detailed knowledge of current emergency cardiac care.
