Certificate Levels

Choosing the Right Credential

Each level documents a distinct scope of practice. Most professionals start at BLS and build upwards as their responsibilities expand.

🟣

PALS Provider

Paediatric assessment and resuscitation for clinicians and responders caring for infants and children across respiratory, shock and arrest scenarios.

🟡

Instructor

The teaching credential. Requires demonstrated provider competence plus instructor development, and authorises you to deliver and assess AGRA courses.

Validity & Renewal

Keeping Your Certificate Current

Certificates expire on a fixed cycle so that refresher practice stays part of your routine rather than an annual scramble.

📅

Fixed Renewal Window

Your card carries an issue date and a renewal date. Reminders are sent before expiry so there is a clear window to re-attend a refresher course.

📚

Continuous Education Log

Attendance at AGRA workshops, symposia and guideline briefings counts towards your professional development record for the cycle.

🔄

Skills Refresher

A shorter, practice-focused session that re-tests the core psychomotor skills — suitable once your baseline competence is established.

4 · Join the Faculty Network

Certified instructors are listed in the AGRA faculty network and receive priority access to symposia, research collaboration and centre partnerships.

Certification FAQ

Questions About Certification

Is there a prerequisite for ACLS?

A current BLS certificate is required, and prior clinical experience in an acute care setting is recommended. If both are new to you, we will sequence them so you finish both in one visit.

How is competence actually assessed?

By objective scoring rather than observation alone. Practical stations are timed and scored against a written rubric; thewritten knowledge check tests recall and decision-making under time pressure.

What if my certificate expires mid-cycle?

You can renew by completing a refresher and re-testing. Your prior assessment record stays on file, which usually shortens the renewal path.

Can institutions verify my certification?

Yes. Verification requests from employers, hospitals and regulatory bodies can be submitted through the Contact page with the certificate number and holder name.

Do you issue instructor numbers for centres?

Training centres and groups can apply for a centre code, which allows internal record-keeping and certificate issuance under AGRA quality assurance.
