The American Heart Association’s Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills while emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR.  The science and education is based on the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).  For those who are proficient in performing BLS and ACLS skills, reading and interpreting ECGs, understanding ACLS pharmacology; and who regularly lead or participate in emergency assessment and treatment of prearrest, arrest, or postarrest patients.

Full course includes classroom instruction, in-person skills evaluation and the student is required to bring a current edition provider manual to class. Students registering for the skills only must have already completed the Heartcode ACLS ELEARNING (verification required) and are not required to bring a provider manual to class since the course instruction has been completed digitally.  Students not taking Heartcode ACLS blended learning should register for the full course to receive both parts.  *Note: Skills only testing without completing online or in-person course instruction is not permitted. Certification e-cards are issued immediately upon completion of the course and are valid for two years.

LATE POLICY

Students should contact the instructor prior to arriving late for any scheduled course.  Specific AHA courses have a required length and must begin at the scheduled time.  Please note that being excessively late for a course may result in it being cancelled and will be subject to the refund/rescheduling policy.   

PAYMENTS/REFUNDS

Students will receive an email to make a payment after submitting a registration request (Third-party payment plans available for qualifying students).  Once payment is received, course enrollment is confirmed and we will see you in class!

All payments for courses are non-refundable and required for enrollments to be considered confirmed.  Appointments will not be considered confirmed for any payments that are not received in advance.  This ensures that the instructor’s schedule is available for those students who are ready to proceed with their course.  Students who need to reschedule must adhere to the rescheduling policy (see below).  Any student who arrives excessively late for their scheduled course may have their course cancelled without refund, unless a late arrival is permitted by the instructor.  It is advised to contact the instructor prior to arriving late so that the instructor can be made aware of the situation.  Students may still be eligible to reschedule their course in circumstances of late arrivals due to unforeseen circumstances or emergency situations.  

RESCHEDULING

Students must arrive on time for scheduled courses to avoid forfeiting the course payment and fees.  In cases of emergencies, it is advised for students to contact the instructor prior to the scheduled course time or as soon as possible.  A one-time rescheduling pass may be available for students who are experiencing an emergency situation and/or are unable to complete their course due to another challenging circumstance.  Please contact the instructor if there is an emergent issue that will cause you to be late or miss your course.  Rescheduling more than once is not permitted and all courses are non-refundable.
