ACLS Recert

[hyperlyeman1]

I just started working for an agency that requires ACLS. I have my ACLS, but it expires next month. I wanted to get a jump on it and get it done early. My question is this, is there a skills test required for a recert on acls? Or can you obtain the cert from an online course without skills.

Thank you in advance!

Yes there is a skills portion

So there is no 100% online course?

It appears as if there IS infact an online eACLS program accredited by the American College of Emergency Physicians. More information can be found here - http://www.pmsg.ca/doctors.php

However, I should note that I have no first hand experience with either the aforementioned company or any eACLS program.

Yes there are ACLS hybrid courses out there. You can do the didactic portion of it online and sign up to have your skills tested before getting your card.

There is no way around doing your megacode etc etc in front of a proctor to get your card though. Not for AHA ACLS anyways
