The American Heart Association ACLS Blended Course is composed of 3 parts. The AHA Heartcode program you complete online at your convenience prior to attending parts 2 and 3 which will be completed in person. Part 2 is inperson skills practice followed by Part 3, which is an inperson skills mastery session called the Megacode.
All ACLS classes are taught by well experienced firefighter/paramedics or nurses. We pride ourselves on providing the very best clinical education possible in our ACLS classes, while using our real life experiences as instructional tools to pass knowledge down to our students. Our ACLS classes very convenient, fun and light hearted.
HeartCode® ACLS is an official, self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program from the American Heart Association (AHA). HeartCode® ACLS Part 1 uses eSimulation technology to present realistic patient scenarios.
Students are presented with a team dynamics lesson, 10 ACLS hospital-based case scenarios, and a written exam. While interacting with the program, students assess each patient, formulate a treatment plan based on ACLS guidelines, and provide treatment.
Successful completion of Part 1, the cognitive component, and Parts 2 and 3, skills practice and testing with an AHA ACLS Instructor meets the requirements for obtaining an AHA ACLS Provider course completion card.
HeartCode® ACLS Part 1 (90-1405) requires Windows XP or Mac OSX, with Internet Explorer 7+ or Firefox 2+. HeartCode programs are not supported by Apple Safari.
