Description: The American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training course incorporates the information needed to apply advanced life support measures while functioning in a team leader role. All of our classes listed are initial certification courses unless otherwise specified. With BLS as a prerequisite, minimal breaks and smaller class sizes, initial certification is able to be completed in one full day.
Intended Audience: Physicians, ER nurses, respiratory therapists, and advanced emergency medical personnel that would have to function in a team leader role or apply advanced resuscitation techniques for adult patients on a frequent basis.
Prerequisites: Students must have a working knowledge of cardiac rhythm interpretation, intubation/IV techniques and advanced cardiac skills. Excellent BLS skills are required for this course and BLS recertification can be added on at checkout. This is a challenging course requiring several written and practical exams.
What Is ACLS: This American Heart Association course builds on BLS training to teach the clinical algorithms needed for Advanced Cardiac Life Support, or ACLS. Training covers procedures to recognize and manage respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies, including acute coronary syndromes.
Duration: Blended learning consists of online coursework and ~2-3 hour classroom session. Some classroom courses also offered which consist of at least one full day of in-classroom work.
Certification: This course can be taken either in a traditional classroom setting, a self-paced blended learning setting (with some online coursework required along with an in-person skill session), or at your location. The exact same nationally recognized 2-year American Heart Association certification card is administered for each type of session.
