eACLS™ Course

The eACLS™ course features two components: knowledge review and practical skills-check. If your employer does not require a practical skills-check, you simply need to successfully complete the knowledge portion online before you can print out your eACLS™ Course Completion Certificate and continuing education credits receipts.

eACLS™ covers the ten advanced cardiac life support topics required for certification:

• Acute coronary syndromes
• AED use
• Asystole
• Bradycardia
• Narrow complex tachycardia
• Pulseless electrical activity
• Respiratory arrest
• Stroke
• Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia
• Wide complex tachycardia

The online course takes an average of four hours to complete (approximately 20 minutes per topic). After completing all 10 sections of the course, a 50-question final exam follows. A score of 80% or higher on the final exam is required.

Following successful completion of the online course and final exam, continuing education credits are immediately awarded and you are able to print out an acknowledgement certificate verifying that you completed the knowledge component of eACLS™.
