Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

View Course Dates and times

  • The Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course is an advanced, evidence-based training program designed for healthcare professionals who participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies. This course follows the American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS guidelines, emphasizing high-quality CPR, effective team dynamics, and the systematic approach to adult cardiac emergencies.

    Participants will build upon foundational life support skills and apply advanced concepts in cardiac rhythm recognition, pharmacology, airway management, and post–cardiac arrest care. Through a combination of interactive instruction, case-based scenarios, and hands-on skills practice, learners will develop the critical thinking and leadership skills necessary to manage complex resuscitation situations in real-world clinical settings.

    The ACLS course focuses on early recognition and intervention for conditions such as acute coronary syndromes, stroke, bradycardia, tachycardia, and cardiac arrest, while reinforcing the importance of clear communication and coordinated team response. Successful completion demonstrates the learner's ability to integrate ACLS algorithms into patient care while adhering to current AHA standards.

    Upon completion of the course requirements, participants will be eligible to receive an American Heart Association ACLS Provider certification, valid for two years.

  • This course is designed for healthcare professionals or emergency response personnel who either direct or participate in managing cardiac arrest, stroke, or other cardiovascular emergencies. This includes, for example, physicians, nurses, paramedics, EMS providers, respiratory therapists, and others who are expected to use ACLS skills in clinical settings.

    Must complete the pre-course self assessment online prior to coming to class.

    You will be asked to create an AHA account, if you do not already have one.

  • Private pay (non-sponsored student) balances must be paid in full prior to the course start date. A non-refundable registration fee deposit is due at the time of enrollment to hold your spot in the enrolled course schedule. That deposit is applied to your course price. Deposits paid for an enrollment in a course schedule are not refundable and not transferrable to any other course or course schedule. If you do not attend the enrolled course schedule, you cannot move this deposit to a new schedule.

    Students sponsored by one of our community partners: DCF, Workforce, City of Wichita, Facility sponsors, or other funding sources are exempt from this. Each sponsor will be invoiced accordingly. Students will be given the opportunity to select this payment type when completing the online enrollment form.
