Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Provider

ACLS is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of a hospital. Through the ACLS course, providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies.

The Provider course is held over a two day period. It is intended for students who do not currently hold an ACLS card or who have let their card lapse. It is required that students attend both days of class.

The Renewal course is intended for students who have a current ACLS card. An ACLS card is considered current through the last day of the month as listed under expiration date (on the front of your card).
