Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support is an advanced course for Healthcare Providers who are involved in units or workplace situations that use advanced mega codes. Course is designed for the student to have a basic knowledge of cardiac drugs, basic rhythms and how to apply them in a critical situation. The students are required to take a pre course through their student manual, complete the coursework and sit for a written exam and mega code skills test. Nurses, RT’s and Paramedics can receive CEU’s for this course.

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) for Healthcare Providers – Online With Skills Check

This Class Has Two Parts:

Part 1 – A self-paced series of online training modules (30 minutes – 2 hours based on experience)
Part 2 – Skills practice and test (20 minutes – 1 hour) at our facility with a VAM (voice assisted manikin). During the skills session an instructor will not be present but will be available by email or phone if needed. The computer and manikin will guide you through the skills session.

The American Heart Association® (AHA) HeartCode® programs deliver quality resuscitation training through a flexible delivery method that allows providers and administrators more control of their time, schedules and resources. HeartCode programs incorporate online learning and hands-on skills training, allowing learners to complete lessons on their own time.

HeartCode Complete® offers the next step in resuscitation training with the use of the Simulation Station. HeartCode Complete allows learners to fully complete their AHA BLS, ACLS or PALS training at their own pace, with courses delivered through any  learning management system or through RQI Partners’ own RQI 1Stop platform.

By combining comprehensive online learning with hands-on skills practice and testing, HeartCode Complete offers consistent, high-quality resuscitation training across a healthcare organization at a pace suited for every individual.

After completing both parts, students will receive an ACLS course completion card that is valid for two years.

Who should take this class?

ACLS is designed for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies and for personnel in emergency response.

The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose.
