We prefer you use a non UCSF email when registering for this course, since UCSF filters frequently block emails with your course key.

The American Heart Association PALS Heartcode (eLearning) course consists of taking an online course and then classroom based skills testing. The course time for the online portion takes a minimum of 6 hours, but it could take up to 10 hours. If you are not an experienced provider, or if you do not feel comfortable doing computer based simulations, we recommend you take the regular 6 hour classroom course. If you have never taken PALS, you would need to enroll in an Initial class.

Some UCSF staff have mentioned that they prefer the regular classroom course instead of the eLearning courses. If you decide to take the eLearning course, you cannot switch back to the classroom version. If you decide to switch, you would have to pay for the class yourself.

Travel Nurses
Travel nurses will not be reimbursed by UCSF. If you are a UCSF travel nurse, contact your travel agency.

Cancellation/Rescheduling Policy
You can reschedule for no charge if you give us 72 hours notice. If you reschedule, with less than 72 hours notice, there is a $50 rescheduling fee. UCSF does not pay the rescheduling pay, so you would be responsible for this fee yourself.

About eLearning
Some people prefer taking the regular classroom version instead of the eLearning version. If you register for an eLearning class, we send you a key which is not refundable. This means if you start the eLearning class, you must finish the course or pay again for the regular course.

Cancellation Policy
You can cancel by giving us one weeks notice. If you do not cancel, or give us less than one weeks notice, your department will be charged and you will have to pay for the class on your own. Also, if you start the eLearning course, you cannot switch to the regular classroom version.
