The ACLS Training Center is the first website to offer online ACLS training. Our online course provides self-directed training based upon assessment and procurement of both skills and cognitive knowledge just like any other instructor-led training. The self-directed approach to learning CPR is not new and is completely effective as AHA states*:
Studies comparing self-instruction or video-based instruction with instructor-led training demonstrate no significant differences in performance outcomes.
Our certificates have been accepted in every US state and Canadian province, and over 60 countries in the Eurozone, Asia and Africa. Our 100% money-back guarantee is good for 30 days and we guarantee your employer will accept our certificate and you will be satisfied.
