ACLS Certification

ACLS training goes beyond BLS (Basic Life Support) to provide a more comprehensive knowledge of advanced life support.

ACLS certification is a good choice if you are a healthcare professional who has not previously completed an ACLS course or if you want a more in-depth refresher. If you have held an active ACLS certification and are an experienced ACLS provider, you should sign up for our ACLS recertification class.

Course Description

The ACLS certification course covers the following:

• BLS Primary Survey and ACLS Secondary Survey with critical actions
