Virginia PALS classes (Pediatric Advanced Life Support classes) are now offered at the Tyson’s Corner location of Kaiser Permanente in McLean, VA. Discount pricing for The Heart Center’s PALS training in Virginia is available to all Kaiser Permanente staff.
ACCREDITED TRAINING SITE & EXPERIENCED PALS INSTRUCTORS
Your Virginia PALS class instructors are professional, highly experienced ER and Trauma nurses from local hospitals and ERs. Each instructor is certified by the American Heart Association and provided by The Heart Center, a nationally accredited AHA training site.
The Heart Center offers PALS classes at Kaiser Permanente locations in Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. You can also register for PALS classes at The Heart Center’s other Virginia class locations: Reston Hospital Center in Fairfax County, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, and our main location in Alexandria, Virginia.
Important: Please read the information below before registering for a class. You may choose between a traditional or online course.
The Heart Center offers classroom-based PALS classes at many different Kaiser Medical Centers (see below for details). There is no web-based portion to these classes. Classes are held on a rotating schedule, and it is the responsibility of Kaiser employees to find a class that fits their schedule. The Medical Center can filter the calendar to make finding a class easier.
Please visit our traditional class calendar page for more details.
Online classes allow students to take the course at their own pace, either in the comfort of their home or in the workplace. Once the online class has been completed, the student must register (via our website) for an in-person skills check. There is a separate fee for the class and the skills check. Skills checks are held at Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers and also weekly at our main location in Alexandria, VA.
Please visit our online class calendar page for more details.
Certification cards will be mailed to Kaiser students within 5-10 days of successful completion of the course.
