This renewal course is designed as a fast paced, condensed ACLS training program for healthcare professionals who routinely use ACLS in a clinical setting.

A current BLS for Healthcare Providers card is no longer a prerequisite for entry into the ACLS program; the AHA requires “BLS SKILLS”. However, if your BLS card has expired or is about to expire and you wish to renew, we still offer BLS certification within the ACLS course for a discounted price of $25.
