DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS CLASS IF YOU ONLY NEED A BLS/CPR RENEWAL.

HealthAlliance Employees will get preferred seating for this class.   If seats fill up, you may need to be rescheduled. 

This class is for ACLS Providers looking to renew their ACLS certification.  We will renew your BLS/CPR certification if you have a current BLS/CPR certification.  

This course is aimed at advanced-level providers and practitioners (RN, NP, MD, PA, RT, Pharmacist, Paramedic). If you are not an advanced-level provider, please contact the Training Center Coordinator prior to enrolling in the course. 

The student is expected to have a basic working knowledge of Rhythm Strip (3-4 Lead) ECG Interpretation and basic Pharmacology prior to attending an ACLS Original Course.  Students should have completed the Nursing Basic Coronary Care (BCC) program prior to completing this course. 

The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Renewal Course is designed specifically for those with a current (non-lapsed) American Heart Association Advanced Cardiovascular (ACLS) Provider Card.  If you have a current, non-lapsed  AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Provider card, your BLS for Healthcare Provider card will also be renewed.  A Current BLS (CPR) Card is NOT required for this class. (Per the AHA, there is no grace period).  

Successful course completion includes demonstrating skills competency in all learning stations and passing the CPR and AED skills test, a bag-mask ventilation skills test, a Megacode test, and a written exam. Upon successful completion, students receive an ACLS Provider card (and BLS/CPR if you have a current AHA BLS/CPR Card), valid for two years.

This class will also incorporate the Basic Life Support (BLS) Classroom Renewal Course for those with a current BLS (CPR) for Healthcare Provider card. In this course, students will refresh their ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking in a safe, timely, and effective manner.
