Course Overview

About this course

Walking into an ACLS class unprepared is stressful, and the pre-course test is where many providers lose confidence. This review course, written by the Nationwide Health team of paramedics, nurses and physicians, walks you through everything you need to know before your class or renewal.

You will review the core rhythms with real strips, work through each algorithm step by step, practice megacode scenarios and finish with a practice exam that mirrors the format of the real one.

Good to know

This course is a study aid. It does not replace the AHA ACLS Provider course or issue an ACLS card. When you are ready, book your ACLS class or HeartCode skills session at nationwidehealthcpr.com.
