Requirements prior to course:
All participants MUST take the mandatory ACLS PreCourse Self-Assessment and PreCourse Work (Video Lessons) Online with American Heart Association before taking the ACLS course. This reveals a student’s knowledge before the course to evaluate their proficiency and determine the need for additional review and practice in three sections: rhythm recognition, pharmacology, and practical application. The student must complete the PreCourse Self-Assessment and achieve a score of 70% or higher before taking the ACLS course. There is not a limit on how many times you can take the PreCourse Self-Assessment and PreCourse Work (Video Lessons). Please bring a printed copy of your successful completion certificate to class with you on the date of your ACLS course. If no printed certificate is available, class will be rescheduled for a later date and time. The ACLS PreCourse Work involves a student reviewing course content through online videos before entering the classroom. The video lessons cover multiple medical subjects and each lesson includes questions to engage the student. The PreCourse Work allows more classroom time for hands-on skills training and leads to the student being better prepared to participate as soon as they enter the classroom.
