The American Heart Association’s Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider 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 the student is required to bring a current edition provider manual to class. Students registering for the skills only must have already completed the Heartcode ACLS ELEARNING (verification required) and are not required to bring a provider manual to class since the course instruction has been completed digitally.  Students not taking Heartcode ACLS blended learning should register for the full course to receive both parts.  *Note: Skills only 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.

LATE POLICY

Students should contact the instructor prior to arriving late for any scheduled course.  Specific AHA courses have a required length and must begin at the scheduled time.  Please note that being excessively late for a course may result in it being cancelled and will be subject to the refund/rescheduling policy.   

PAYMENTS/REFUNDS

Students will receive an email to make a payment after submitting a registration request (Third-party payment plans available for qualifying students).  Once payment is received, course enrollment is confirmed and we will see you in class!

Payments for completed courses where the student has already received their certification are non-refundable.  Payments for courses that that have not already been completed by the student are non-refundable except in cases of extenuating circumstances where a partial refund exception is approved.  A partial refund exception can be requested by any student experiencing extenuating circumstances and can be submitted by clicking here on the Partial Refund Request Form.  Students approved for a refund exception will receive a 50% refund of the course fee*. 

Payment is required for all course enrollments to be considered confirmed and for the student to be added to the course schedule. This ensures that the instructor’s schedule is available for those students who are ready to proceed with their course.  Students who need to reschedule must adhere to the rescheduling policy (see below).  Any student who arrives excessively late for their scheduled course may have their course cancelled and is subjected to the rescheduling policy (see below).  It is advised for students to contact their instructor prior to arriving late so that the instructor can be made aware and advise them of any pertinent information.

 

*100% refunds are not available for courses, as all courses are non-refundable and a partial refund is only available in cases where a partial refund exception is approved. 

RESCHEDULING

Students may reschedule their course at any time up to 2 hours before their course begins, however, please reschedule your course(s) as much in advance as possible to allow for the timeslot to be available to other students.  Any student who does not reschedule their course within this forementioned timeframe and is unable to attend class will have their course cancelled and will not be refunded except in cases of extenuating circumstances.  A one-time rescheduling pass per enrollment is available for students who are experiencing extenuating circumstances and are unable to complete their confirmed course as scheduled.  Students can use email or phone to contact us to reschedule their course.  In cases of extenuating circumstances, it is advised for students to notify their instructor prior to any late arrivals or being unable to attend the course.  The instructor may be able to work with you or give you options to help you get rescheduled and back on track to getting certified.
