American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification courses. Scroll down for additional information or click register to sign up. Below, we have several course options for your benefit:
Blended ACLS courses require some online coursework prior to a shorter skill session with an instructor and small group.
Classroom ACLS sessions require little to no online work (other than an assessment) with everything completed in a full day classroom experience. If you are new to ACLS this is a great option.
Private RQI kiosk sessions (below the classroom sessions or on the right of the page) are the AHA’s newest technology for instructor-less training and completed in the shortest amount of time and on a flexible schedule. With RQI private sessions the bulk of your training is done online with a brief basic skill session on a smart manikin system – using this will give a 2 year certification card with no requirement for quarterly reviews. If you are new to ACLS or would like extra practice and help it is advised to sign up for a blended or classroom course rather than a private RQI session. There are no refunds or credit for any private or blended payments. Click register to sign up.

Course Information
What Is ACLS: This American Heart Association course builds on BLS training to teach the clinical algorithms needed for Advanced Cardiac Life Support, or ACLS. Training covers procedures to recognize and manage respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies, including acute coronary syndromes.
Duration: Blended learning consists of online coursework and ~2 hour classroom session. Some classroom courses also offered which consist of at least one full day of in-classroom work.
Intended Audience: This can be taken for initial certification or recertification. Physicians, ER nurses, respiratory therapists, and advanced emergency medical personnel that would have to function in a team leader role or apply advanced resuscitation techniques for adult patients on a frequent basis.
Prerequisites: Students must have a working knowledge of cardiac rhythm interpretation, intubation/IV techniques, and advanced cardiac skills. With BLS as a prerequisite, required online work, minimal breaks and smaller class sizes, initial certification in some cases is able to be completed in one full day.
Certification: This course can be taken either in a traditional classroom setting, a self-paced blended learning setting (with some online coursework required along with an in-person skill session), or at your location. The exact same nationally recognized 2-year American Heart Association certification card is administered for each type of session.

Currently, private RQI (Resuscitative Quality Improvement) course certification is identical to that of a 2 year certification (not quarterly). With RQI private sessions the bulk of your training is done online with a brief basic skill session on a smart manikin system. If you are new to ACLS or would like extra practice and help it is advised to sign up for a blended or classroom course rather than a private RQI session. There are no refunds or credit for any private or blended payments.
