ACLS Provider – Instructor-Led Training
This course teaches the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, high-performance teams, continuous high-quality CPR, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, post-cardiac arrest care, acute dysrhythmias, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS)
Updated to reflect new science in the 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR & ECC.
This course is designed for healthcare professionals who direct or manage cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies; personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units; physicians, nurses, and paramedics; and others who need an ACLS course completion card for job or other requirements
Course content: After completing the course, students should be able to:
• Define systems of care
• Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients.
• Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes.
• Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes.
• Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, including appropriate disposition.
• Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition.
• Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
• Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome.
• Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team.
• Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.
• Recognize respiratory arrest.
• Perform early management of respiratory arrest.
• Recognize cardiac arrest.
• Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use.
• Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care.
• Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team.
