Many people are extremely stressed when taking ACLS for the first time. With preparation ahead of time, the majority of students successfully complete the program. We have put together these tools and resources to get you ready. For an official description of the program and course objectives, please visit the Heart and Stroke course catalogue.
Register at the Heart and Stroke Foundation website using the email you have provided us: resuscitation.heartandstroke.ca/user/register
If you have a current Heart and Stroke ID (i.e. you have a current BLS certificate), you don't need to re-register.
Visit the ACLS Student Website. It has a number of videos you are required to watch, along with additional resources including a downloadable PDF covering supplemental basic concepts:
Before coming to your course, you must visit the ACLS Student Website and complete the ACLS Self-Assessment Test with a score of 70%.
Please complete this test and bring the test results to your course.
Purchase directly from Heart and Stroke (under "Shop for Training Materials"). Search "ACLS" at the top right hand corner of the H&S e-store. You may also find copies of the manual on Amazon or campus bookstores.
Your learning session will prove to be more interesting and satisfying if you read through your 2015 Provider Manual, watch the videos, and be familiar with ACLS core rhythms. This gives us more time to run through Megacode scenarios and better prepare you.
On the course date
Please be on time and come prepared. We follow all Heart and Stroke course guidelines. As per Heart and Stroke, BLS should be renewed every year and ACLS should be renewed every two years.
