COURSE DELIVERY
ACLS can be delivered in 2 formats to meet the needs of students. Both formats include the same learning objectives and result in the same course completion card. The American Heart Association (AHA) limits enrollment in the ACLS Provider Course to healthcare providers who direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient either in or out of hospital. Participants who enter the course must have the basic knowledge and skills to participate actively with the instructor and other students.
Instructor-led or classroom training delivers both the cognitive portion of training and the psychomotor component of thorough skills practice and testing in a classroom setting.
