Official AHA ACLS Provider Manual

The AHA ACLS Provider Manual is the standard for learning Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Our certification course includes a copy of the Provider Manual and free shipping for it, while it's also available as an option for our recertification course. The Provider Manual includes the major case studies and scenarios, as while as important information and theory about BLS and working as a team.

Online exam with instant grading

Our courses use a simple online exam that is designed to be easy to read and complete. The exam is made up of 50 questions about Advanced Cardiac Life Support, including 40 questions about the BLS Primary Survey, ACLS Secondary Survey and Critical Cases, plus 10 questions about recognizing common ECG rhythms. A score of 80% or better is required to successfully pass.

For your convenience, a printable version of the exam is also available in case you would prefer to print it out and fill out the answers away from the computer. You can then come back and submit your answers online later. Our courses do not use any complicated login or password process.

Exams are graded automatically within a few minutes after they have been submitted. You will receive an automatic email from the system after your exam has been graded to let you know if you passed or not.

Three free exam retakes if you don't pass on your first attempt

Three free exam retakes are included with our online courses in case you do not successfully pass the exam the first time you take it. If you do not pass on your first attempt, we will email you a list of the questions you missed so you can study for them and pass the test on your next attempt.

Email card for same day use

Both of our online courses include an email card for same day use. The email card is an Adobe PDF document that will be emailed to you within 1 business day once you pass the exam. You can then print the card and use it until you receive your hard copy card in the mail.

Free hard copy card mailed to you

Once you successfully pass the exam for your course, we will mail you an ACLS card. The card will have your name on it, plus the initial completion date (the day you pass the exam) and the expiration date. Cards are valid for a period of two years from when they were initially issued. Cards are normally mailed by USPS First Class mail, so they generally take between 2 and 5 business days to arrive. Next Day shipping is also available for an additional $30.

No skills check off required

Some other companies hide the fact that their certification courses require a skills check, so customers often don't find out about the skills check requirement until after they've purchased the course. We do not require a skills check for our online courses, whether you're getting your initial certification or just recertifying.

Express shipping available

If you are in a time crunch and need to receive your Provider Manual or hard copy card quickly, we offer Next Day shipping for either one for an additional $30.

Based on current American Heart Association guidelines

Our exam is based on the current American Heart Association guidelines. All questions on the exam are taken from the AHA ACLS Provider Manual. This means you can prepare for the exam using any current AHA or AHA-based study materials. Study materials are generally available at bookstores and book websites, along with some medical supply companies and libraries. Our online certification course included the AHA Provider Manual and free shipping, while it's available as an option for our online recertification course.

No time limit for taking the exam

We do not have a time limit for our exam. You will be able to take it at your convenience and spend as much or as little time on it as you need. This eliminates a lot of the inconvenience of traditional classes and helps to make earning your card as fast and easy as possible. As mentioned above, a printable version of the exam is available in case you would prefer to print it out and fill out the answers away from the computer. You can then come back and submit your answers online later. Compare this with other companies' exams or tests which are often online-only.
