RED TACT Basic Life Support

Instead of just watching a video, you will work with high-fidelity manikins that provide real-time data on your compression depth and rate. At RED TACT, we simulate real clinical environments to help you practice the stress and teamwork of a real cardiac arrest scenario, rather than just practicing in a quiet classroom.

The certification is valid for two years. Renewal: Take the 1-day course if your card is still active. Initial: Take the 2-day course if you are a first-timer or your card has expired significantly.

The full PALS Initial Course typically runs for 2 days (approx. 16 hours), while the Update/Renewal course is usually completed in 1 day.

RedTACT issues AHA eCards. Once the instructor submits your successful roster, you’ll receive an email to claim your digital card—usually within 24 to 48 hours.

The standard provider course is 2 days (16 hours). RedTACT also offers a 1-day “Refresher” if you are already certified and within your 4-year window.
