The American Heart Association’s (ACLS) course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills while emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR.  The science and education is based on the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).  For those who are proficient in performing BLS and ACLS skills, reading and interpreting ECGs, understanding ACLS pharmacology; and who regularly lead or participate in emergency assessment and treatment of prearrest, arrest, or postarrest patients.

Full course includes classroom instruction, in-person skills evaluation and requires the student to bring a current edition provider manual to class. Students registering for the hands-on skills only must have already completed the Heartcode ACLS online instruction (verification required) and are not required to bring a provider manual to class since they have completed their written examination. Students who have not already completed the Heartcode ACLS online instruction should register for the full course to receive both parts. Hands-only skills testing without completing online or in-person course instruction is not permitted.  Certification e-cards are issued immediately upon completion of the course and are valid for two years.
