No Skills Check Required for Most Practicing Healthcare Professionals

This course was designed for busy health care professionals, including Physicians, Nurses, Physician’s Assistants and everyone else who needs ACLS recertification.

If you are a practicing health care professional that regularly performs resuscitation and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) procedures as part of your employment, then no practical skills check is required to earn your official eACLS™ Course Completion Card. Simply print the eACLS™ Skills Verification Form and have your hospital or clinical supervisor complete the form verifying your clinical skills training and current skills competence based on the eACLS™ Skills Testing Guidance Document.

To receive your eACLS™ Course Completion Card, please fax or scan and email your completed Skills Verification Form and a copy of the acknowledgement certificate verifying that you completed the knowledge component of the course to 866-429-4931 or approvals@ecsinstitute.org. After your documentation is reviewed and approved, your eACLS™ Course Completion Card will be mailed out to you within 5 business days.

On-site practical skills examinations

If you are unable to complete the Skills Verification Form or need your practical skills verified at an approved eACLS™ Education Center, then please read more about skills testing and locate an eACLS™ Educational Center. You can schedule a practical skills examination appointment before purchasing access to the online eACLS™ course.

Individual Pricing and Process

If you wish to earn an official wallet-sized eACLS™ Course Completion Card endorsed by the American College of Emergency Physicians, you must also complete a practical skills examination at an approved eACLS™ Educational Center. Locate an eACLS™ Educational Center here before purchasing access to the online eACLS™ course.

You must print out the acknowledgement certificate verifying that you completed the knowledge component of the course before participating in a practical skills examination at an approved eACLS™ Educational Center. It will take approximately 30–45 minutes to complete the four required skill stations:

  • CPR and AED (One- and two-person CPR with an AED)
  • Airway and Ventilation Management (BVM, ET, Combitube, and LMA use)
  • ECG Arrhythmia Recognition and Treatment Modalities (Sixteen ECGs and patient presentations)
  • Cardiac Arrest Management (MegaCode)

After successful completion of the skill stations an official wallet-sized ACEP eACLS™ Course Completion Card may be issued. Only authorized Educational Centers may issue eACLS™ cards.

Here is what one eACLS™ user had to say:

"With all the mandated requirements for fire departments, there is not enough time or space to provide training in the traditional classroom manner. As the nurse consultant to the Sacramento Fire Department, I have found eACLS to be the perfect solution to provide up-to-date needed information to our 300+ paramedics. The paramedics also like this method of learning because they can take the course at their own pace, review the materials at the station instead of a classroom setting, and complete the course over a period of time. The tracking log for record keeping is also very handy."
