Prep work, due by 7 PM the day before class

The ACLS Full Class and the PALS Full Class are the classes to book for a first course or a renewal. The prep work you send depends on your card for that course. Upload it on the ACLS and PALS paperwork page by 7 PM the day before class.

Renewing: card current, or expired within 30 days of your class date

Complete the Precourse Self-Assessment for your course. Upload two documents: the pretest certificate, and your AHA ACLS or PALS Provider eCard for the same course.

First time, or card expired more than 30 days before your class date

Complete the Precourse Self-Assessment and the Video Prework for your course, then upload the certificate that shows both.

If your employer or school names a specific ACLS or PALS course format, text the exact wording to 281-524-2767 before you register.

Taking more than one course? Register once and add the others at checkout:

  • ACLS and BLS: book your ACLS class (Full Class or Skills Session) and choose Add BLS at checkout.
  • PALS and BLS: book your PALS class (Full Class or Skills Session) and choose Add BLS at checkout.
  • ACLS and PALS, with or without BLS: book the ACLS Full Class or the PALS Full Class. Its checkout offers the other course as an add-on, as well as BLS. The added ACLS or PALS session meets on a separate day; you choose that date during your class or by calling after you register.

The BLS checkout does not offer ACLS or PALS. If you have already booked BLS, book ACLS or PALS separately, or text 281-524-2767 for help.

ACLS and PALS both build on BLS and are not beginner CPR classes. If your requirement only says BLS, see AHA BLS in Southwest Houston. Cardiox Care lists Southwest Houston as its office for Westchase, Alief, Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City and the Fort Bend side of town.

On the day

  • Bring a valid photo ID, just in case.
  • Arrive early for check-in.
  • Not sure which option fits your requirement? Text its exact wording to 281-524-2767 before you register.

Southwest Houston ACLS and PALS questions

I am taking ACLS or PALS for the first time. Which option do I book?

Book the Full Class for your course. Before class, complete the Precourse Self-Assessment and the Video Prework and upload the certificate on the ACLS and PALS paperwork page by 7 PM the day before class. The Skills Session is only for students who have already completed HeartCode ACLS or HeartCode PALS online.

I am renewing my ACLS or PALS card. Which option do I book?

Book the same Full Class. If your AHA card for that course is current or expired within 30 days of your class date, complete the Precourse Self-Assessment, then upload the pretest certificate and your Provider eCard by 7 PM the day before class. If your card expired more than 30 days before your class date, do the first-time prep instead. If you have already completed HeartCode online, book the Skills Session.

How long is the class?

The ACLS Full Class is scheduled for 7 hours and the PALS Full Class for 8 hours 15 minutes. Your booking confirmation shows the exact start and end time of the class you booked.

When is my HeartCode certificate due?

By 7 PM the day before your Skills Session. Upload it on the ACLS and PALS paperwork page. If you have not completed HeartCode online, book the Full Class instead.

Can I take ACLS and PALS together?

Yes, on separate days. Book either the ACLS Full Class or the PALS Full Class; its checkout offers the other course as an add-on. You choose the date for the added course during your class or by calling after you register.

I also need BLS. How do I add it?

BLS is an add-on in every ACLS and PALS checkout, for the Full Class and the Skills Session. Book your ACLS or PALS class and choose Add BLS at checkout. The BLS checkout does not offer ACLS or PALS, so if you have already booked BLS, book the other class separately or text 281-524-2767.

Which building and floor is the class on?

The North Building at 9990 Richmond Ave., the side marked "N", through the entrance with six steps and double doors. Take the elevator on the right to the third floor, turn left, take the right hallway where it splits and continue to the last double doors on the left. That is Suite 300N.

Where do I park?

Park in the parking garage or in two-hour parking, then walk to the North Building entrance.

Is this office convenient from Sugar Land or Missouri City?

How do I change my class date?
