Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support

Our ACLS Provider course will help you to develop skills – as a member of a healthcare team – in simulated situations that mirror real-life cardiac-related emergencies in your work life. 


These simulations will involve high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, recognition, and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes. You will be able to reinforce concepts, undertake skills practice, receive coaching and correction, and refine your abilities before final testing. 


This course is offered in two learning formats: the more traditional classroom-based teaching led by one of our instructors; or the blended learning format in which you delve into parts of the curriculum on your time and at your own pace and then take the instructor-led, in-classroom component when you’re ready. You can choose the format that suits your learning style best
