Description

The HeartCode ACLS Course is geared towards Healthcare Professionals who manage cardiovascular emergencies or cardiopulmonary arrest.

The AHA’s ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. This blended learning course delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives students more control to complete the course at their own pace.

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive a 2-year Certification Card from the American Heart Association.
