VIC Instructor PAEDIATRIC 2 Day Certification 1 & 2 March 2027 - ANMF

Teach with Confidence. Lead the Standard.
Great resuscitation outcomes don't just depend on clinicians who can perform PALS - they depend on educators who can teach it well. This two-day Instructor Certification program is designed for registered nurses, and healthcare professionals who already hold PALS certification and are ready to develop and strengthen their skills as resuscitation educators.

Whether you're already teaching PALS in your workplace or preparing to step into that role, this course gives you the pedagogical tools, simulation expertise, and peer connections to do it with confidence and credibility.

Instructor certification requires a secondly yearly recertification. 

What to Expect
Two intensive days of instructor skill development, combining content delivery practice, simulation design, and assessment methodology - with plenty of opportunity to learn alongside peers facing the same challenges in their own clinical environments.

Participants consistently describe this course as one of the most valuable professional development experiences they've had - not just for the skills, but for the network.

  • Content delivery techniques
