Health Education Solutions is the leading provider of online courses for healthcare professionals and others who want to be prepared for a medical emergency.  Online certification and recertification for advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS) courses follow the American Heart Association guidelines and were developed in partnership with Union College.  Initial certification in each course requires completion of an in-person skills test; recertification is 100 percent online.  Students have access to the course materials for 12 months after purchase regardless of when they take their exam.
