Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS)

The 3-day APLS course will now comprise a flexible one-day on-line component (VLE) and a two-day face-to-face component (F2F). You should apply for the two components as a complete package by clicking on the downloadable course dates document below. This will send an enquiry straight to your chosen centre, and they will then respond to you directly. If you have already paid for the VLE separately, please attach your Part A (VLE) certificate to the form, so the centre can adjust your fee accordingly. Candidates need to have two certificates Part A (VLE) - on-line component and Part B - F2F component to be a certified APLS provider.

Candidates should be from a medical, nursing, ECP, ODP or RTO* background. *RTOs from any background who work in a paediatric hospital are eligible. RTOs who work in a non-paediatric hospital, with any other background to those already listed, can send an application to the Working Group detailing their paediatric practice and each of these cases will be considered individually. The Working Group also recommend that nurses are senior staff nurses and above. Experienced level 5 staff nurses may take the course.
