Health care practitioners must take continuing education every year or two depending on state, and look for ways to get their credit. The American Heart Association offers numerous classes that will suffice for such. ACLS certification or the advanced cardiovascular life support class gives professionals the chance to get updated information on post-cardiac arrest care and credits for licensing.
The class goes over a lot of information like updated CPR techniques, respiratory and cardiac arrest, life support changes and peri-arrest issues as well as how to deal with each. Acute coronary syndrome or ACS as well as working as a team when dealing with resuscitation are also covered, to interject that more people watching a victim is better than just one. These skills are all included on the written exam and the practical skills portion that must be completed.
Every person who takes part in the class needs to take part in the different learning stations where they will be shown hands on techniques and be expected to reproduce them. The class will be failed, since the only option for the course is in a class room and this is required. Skills such as these are reiterated through the new CPR breathing guidelines, which is why learning is hands on only.
One course is available for those who have never had this training before, and another for returning students or practitioners already in the field who are certified. Recertification can be obtained by taking the Experienced Providers course, which offers 5.25 credit hours of continuing education credits through CECBEMS. For those taking the initial course, full credits of twelve advanced hours are offered.
No internet learning is approved by the AHA, and the actual practice time for course completion will vary. Due to sizes of the class or the course being taken, hours can increase. Initial courses could stretch to a twelve hour period based on the practical learning skills and a single instructor. The secondary course only takes around half the time to complete with the same amount of students and practical skills.
To pass and get credit, students have to pass all portions. This will include a written test, taking part at every learning station as well as bag mask use and proper CPR and AED use on the skills test. Once a student passes, a card or certificate is given that confers the credit for a two year period.
Many different providers exist to offer these courses on the behalf of the American Heart Association. Fees that are associated with this could be different based on the provider. The AHA does not regulate this, and could include material costs and exam fees associated with the provider's time.
For details on how to get certified on these skills, call or visit the nearest AHA location and determine your closest provider of the exam. Many different entities, companies, hospitals and businesses allow for registration and work directly on the behalf of the AHA. Ensure that prior to enrolling, your chosen provider is allowed permission by the AHA to confer the information or you will not get credit for completion.
