The ACLS Provider Training Certification Course is designed to teach providers the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate and manage adult cardiovascular emergencies. Students are expected to participate in lecture, learning stations, review stations and skills testing scenarios. The ACLS curriculum includes:

Per current AHA program administration guidelines, A BLS CPR card is NOT required for this course, but you must be proficient in Adult BLS for healthcare provider skills and your skills will be reviewed and evaluated as part of the ACLS Provider Course. BLS certification is not included with ACLS course registration. Students that are not confident in their BLS CPR Skills should register for a CPR for Healthcare Provider Course prior to attending the ACLS Course. Many ACLS courses offered through Southeast Community Training Center include an option to renew your BLS/CPR for Healthcare Providers credential.

The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS, and PALS and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association. Any fees charged for such a course, except for a portion of fees needed for AHA course material, do not represent income to the Association.
