What is ACLS?

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is an advanced emergency response training program developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that prepares healthcare professionals to recognize, assess, and manage life-threatening cardiovascular and respiratory emergencies. Building on the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS), ACLS focuses on cardiac arrest management, stroke recognition, acute coronary syndromes, ECG rhythm interpretation, airway management, emergency medications, and team-based resuscitation. ACLS certification is commonly required for physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers who may respond to critical emergencies. Upon successful completion of the course and skills evaluation, participants receive an AHA ACLS Provider certification valid for 2 years.

Benefits of ACLS Certification

Supports better patient outcomes through evidence-based treatment protocols

Meets certification requirements for many healthcare and hospital-based roles

Prepares you to respond quickly and effectively during cardiac arrest, stroke, and other critical events

Increases professional qualifications and career opportunities in healthcare settings

Who Needs ACLS Certification in Washington

Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers

Examples:

  • Physicians
  • Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
  • Physician Assistants (PAs)
  • Resident Physicians

Why ACLS is needed:

They must be prepared to assess life-threatening conditions, direct resuscitation efforts, and provide advanced cardiovascular care.

Registered Nurses and Critical Care Staff

Many nursing roles require ACLS certification, particularly in acute care and hospital settings where medical emergencies may occur.

Examples:

  • Registered Nurses (RNs)
  • Emergency Room Nurses
  • ICU Nurses
  • Cardiac Care Nurses
  • Telemetry Nurses

Why ACLS is needed:

They monitor patients, identify signs of deterioration, and assist with advanced life support interventions.

Emergency Medical Services Personnel

EMS professionals are often among the first healthcare providers to respond to serious medical emergencies in the community.

Examples:

  • Paramedics
  • Advanced EMTs
  • Flight Medical Personnel

Why ACLS is needed:

They must quickly assess, stabilize, and provide advanced care to patients before they reach a hospital.

Respiratory Therapists

Respiratory therapists play an important role in managing airways and supporting patients experiencing respiratory or cardiac emergencies.

Examples:

  • Respiratory Therapists
  • Pulmonary Care Specialists

Why ACLS is needed:

They assist with ventilation management and advanced airway support during critical events.

Healthcare Students & Clinical Trainees

Many healthcare education programs require ACLS certification before students can participate in certain clinical experiences.

Examples:

  • Physician Assistant Students
  • Nurse Practitioner Students

Why ACLS is needed:

It helps prepare students to recognize and respond appropriately to cardiovascular emergencies in clinical settings.

Surgical and Procedural Care Teams

Healthcare professionals involved in surgery, anesthesia, and procedural care often need ACLS certification due to the potential for medical emergencies during treatment.

Examples:

  • Anesthesiologists
  • CRNAs

Why ACLS is needed:

They must be ready to respond immediately to cardiac, respiratory, or anesthesia-related emergencies.

Very well done! And the experience was a breeze. Just watch the videos they suggest before to test your skills!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mikayla — we’re so glad everything went smoothly! It’s great to hear the suggested videos helped you feel prepared. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we look forward to assisting you again.
Exceptional experience. I had passed CPR skill evaluation tests more than five times in different locations across the world and this one was the most convenient and fastest so far! Please make sure you read and follow the instructions in the emails sent to you after the registration and watch recommended videos (worth just 30 min of your time if not less than that). That all will set you up for 100% success on your first try. As someone more experienced, I needed just 18 min to prove my skills with cleaning up the mannequins included. Thank you!

This was such a convenient and quick way to get my ACLS renewed! I was able to make an appointment to go in for skills the next day. They provided so much helpful information on how to access the building and how to get the best scores when testing on the manikin. A bit more expensive than other classes, but worth it if you need your certification stat!

The experience was great! I do think there should be a lower price offered for experience and research instead of taking it brand new.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Donna — we’re glad your experience was great and appreciate the helpful suggestion about offering lower-priced options for items used for experience and research. Unfortunately the AHA Heartcode course is the same price regardless of cert status.
