Delivery & assessment methods
The APLS learning environment is interactive, practical and supportive.
Before the course, candidates complete our award-winning online learning package to explore key APLS concepts.
Then, during the face to face course, candidates further their understanding of care in the clinical context through scenario roleplays, skill stations, plenaries and workshops in small group sessions.
What supports effective learning in this course are faculty who are credible clinicians, that enjoy supporting others to provide safe care. The culture of the organisation is committed to building a safe learning environment - where questions can be asked and explored and skills can be practiced.
APLS instructors make up a diverse community of over 500 health professionals dedicated to excellence in paediatric care. With 12 instructors to 24 candidates on each course, candidates have their own mentor and access to a wealth of real-life experience.
Outcomes
Applying the best available knowledge in complex clinical settings doesn’t always have one correct answer and the face-to-face program is designed to explore these issues. This is so you leave the program with what you need to care for critically ill and injured children.
Candidates who complete the APLS course will issued a certificate of completion upon:
- Fully attending the three-day course
- Successfully completing all required course assessments
- Successfully completing the required pre-course APLS online learning modules
APLS certificates are valid for five years from the date of issue.
