✓ About Accreditation — What to Know
This course is nationally accepted, regulatory approved, and provided in partnership with the American HealthCare Academy. It follows the most current ECC/ILCOR and OSHA guidelines — the international standards that govern pediatric resuscitation practice and are adopted by hospitals, emergency departments, and pediatric care facilities across the U.S. Hundreds of national, state, and health boards approve and endorse this training.
One thing to clarify upfront: the American Heart Association (AHA) publishes resuscitation guidelines and scientific standards — it does not accredit course providers. Learntastic's PALS course content is built to follow those same AHA/ECC/ILCOR guidelines, which is exactly what the AHA provides to the field. Learntastic's instructors hold professional certifications including ANCC, ACPE, and AMA credentials, ensuring the course is developed and taught to recognized professional standards.
The course carries a 98% employer acceptance rate and is trusted by clinics and hospitals across the U.S. If your organization requires specific documentation for credentialing or compliance records, Learntastic can provide supporting materials upon request.
Is PALS Required for Your Role?
PALS certification is commonly mandated for professionals working in emergency rooms, pediatric intensive care units, pre-hospital pediatric response, and in-hospital pediatric settings. Many hospitals and health systems require current PALS credentials as a condition of employment or credentialing in these roles. If your certification is approaching its 2-year expiration, this course also serves as your renewal — covering the same curriculum updated to current guidelines.
