  2. Register for an upcoming ACLS Skills date by clicking the blue button below

  3. Purchase and complete the online assignment “Heartcode ACLS” prior to your skill session course date.

The Heartcode ACLS course is tailored for advanced healthcare professionals, including medical, nursing, and health sciences students and faculty members involved in patient care. This course is critical for those who need to take their resuscitation skills to the next level. Building on the principles of Basic Life Support, ACLS focuses on advanced interventions such as airway management, cardiac pharmacology, and managing cardiac arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies in a team-based setting. This course is essential for students preparing for clinical practice or providers who need to maintain their certification for both pre-hospital and facility settings.

This is a Blended Learning Course meaning there is an online assignment that must be purchased and completed prior to attending the in-person skills session. Additionally, there is a precourse self-assessment unique to ACLS that must be passed prior to starting the online assignment. Read more about those in the directions below.
