2020 ACLS Highlights
Many people are extremely stressed when taking ACLS for the first time. Don't panic, with preparation ahead of time, the majority of students successfully complete the program. We've put together this webpage with links to various tools and resources.
Step One
Register at the Heart and Stroke Foundation website using the email you have provided us.*
https://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.
Step Two
Review all relevant material and videos by visiting the ACLS Student Website.
This webpage has a number of videos that you are required to watch along with additional resources that you will find helpful including a downloadable PDF that covers supplemental basic concepts:
Basic airway management
Advanced airway management
ACLS core rhythms
Defibrillation
Access for medications
Acute coronary syndromes
Human, ethical, and legal dimensions of ECC and ACLS
We strongly recommend purchasing the 2015 Heart and Stroke ACLS Provider Manual. This can be purchased directly from the

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 .
Step Three
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.
On the Course Date
We will cover BLS and will be evaluating you throughout the day on your CPR skills.
We will review, re-review and re-review the core rhythms and algorithms.
You will have lots of hands on time practicing the skills in a team setting.
To be successful, you must be able to score 84% on the multiple choice test and be able to successfully run a 10 minute mega-code as a team leader.
