The online course is easy to navigate, interactive, and only takes a few hours to complete. After completing the course, a 40-question final exam follows. A score of 80% or higher on the final exam is required. Users are permitted to retake the final exam.
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.

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." Margaret Ong, RN, MS Sacramento Fire Department Sacramento, CA
