Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Renewal Course

Course Description: 

The American Heart Association’s (AHA) Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both an effective team member and team leader in either an in-hospital or out-of-hospital setting. Please note that you will not be taught how to read or interpret ECG’s in this course, nor will you be taught specific details about pharmacology.

This class is in-person with required online pre-course work to be completed by the student prior to attending the in-person session. This class is ideal for someone that has previously taken an ACLS course and needs to take a renewal course before their current certification expires. Students should have a firm understanding of BLS skills and concepts. There is required online precourse work to complete prior to attending class. The precourse work consists of two modules: the ACLS Precourse Self-Assessment AND the ACLS Video Prework. Upon arriving for the in-person class, students are required to show proof of completion of both modules. Students may print these items prior to class or come prepared with a screenshot to email to the instructor for printing. Required proof of precourse work completion includes: a certificate of completion of the Precourse Self-Assessment and Video Prework AND the Precourse Self-Assessment Results. 

*Please note: If the student arrives to class without proof of completion for both items listed above, they will be asked to reschedule, and will not be able to attend the class that day.*
