THE OFFICIAL AHA ACLS LEARNING PROGRAM
Keep ACLS Certifications Current While Saving Time and Money
Busy healthcare providers often need an alternative to traditional, classroom-based ACLS training. HeartCode™ ACLS is the official, self-directed, comprehensive e-learning program from the American Heart Association® (AHA). HeartCode ACLS tests caregivers’ CPR skills using the Voice Advisory Manikin (VAM) system. Studies indicate that the manikin feedback can almost immediately improve basic CPR skills performance. Learners also complete an interactive, cognitive portion that includes ten realistic patient scenarios covering the ACLS algorithms, a team dynamics lesson, and extensive AHA reference material. With HeartCode ACLS, your facility will not only benefit from standardized ACLS competencies but it will also save you time and money compared to traditional classes.
