ACLS trainingRating: (votes: 0) My facility will not accept an online ACLS certification because they want you to participate in a hands-on mega-code. Comment:
You can take online ACLS training that is certified by the AHA, but you have to go to a training center to pass the mega code with an instructor.I did it last year when I forgot to re-new my ACLS. I don't remember the details, I probably just Googled it. I really enjoyed the on-line presentation. I think it was kind of expensive?
Comment:
If you're going to do online ACLS, you should ask your facility or potential employers exactly what ACLS training certificates they recognize. If they do not recognize any online certificates, I would recommend doing the AHA online course. With that program, you do all your studying at home, at your own pace. You then schedule a skills verification locally and if you pass, you get an identical ACLS card as someone that went through the traditional program. Here's the thing: it is a bit more expensive because you pay separately (I think) for both portions of the program and the total cost is usually a little higher than the traditional program. I usually do the in-person courses because they're a little cheaper and I usually get as much out of the course through discussion in the classroom as I do from the material itself. Finding time to actually do the in-person ACLS course, given my work schedule can be a bit interesting though.
