“As a cardiologist, this has been a great use of my time. It has allowed me to significantly maximize my time by avoiding the classroom lectures. The content was all based upon AHA recommendations.”

— Daniel F. from OH

“The online course was the best way for me to recertify due to working/traveling for over 12 hours a day. The website was easy to use. Also, email responses were very prompt, which is much appreciated.”

— Katherine M. from NJ

“I found this to be a rather sophisticated course, particularly when it involved pathophysiology, pharmacology and the management of cardiovascular and pulmonary life support scenarios. Although I am an associate clinical professor of medicine, I learned a great deal.”

— Mark C. from NY

“As the only physician in a very remote farming community, the ability to leave my practice and go to take an ACLS course is quite limited. AMRI makes it possible for me to study and certify, without leaving my patients. It's a lifesaver for me.”

— Paul W. from KS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ACLS?
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is an advanced level of care that builds on the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS). While BLS focuses on CPR, AED use, and immediate first aid, ACLS goes further by teaching healthcare professionals how to recognize and manage cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, stroke, and other cardiovascular emergencies. The ACLS course trains providers in interpreting electrocardiograms (ECGs), delivering advanced life support medications, and applying team dynamics and post-cardiac arrest care strategies to improve patient outcomes in both pre-hospital and intensive care settings.
Is ACLS certification mandatory?
Yes, in most clinical environments. Hospitals, postgraduate institutes, and employers in emergency medicine or cardiac care units typically require ACLS certification for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. Even if not required, earning your ACLS certificate is strongly recommended because it enhances your clinical skills, strengthens your knowledge, and builds confidence in life-threatening situations.
Is online ACLS accepted?
Yes, AMRI's ACLS certification online program is accredited by the National Board of Emergency Care Certifications (NBECC) and follows the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association's International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Our certification is widely recognized and accepted by most healthcare employers nationwide. Note: Some institutions only accept AHA-issued cards, which require an in-person skills test. Always confirm with your employer or licensing board before enrolling.
How long is the ACLS class online?
Our ACLS online course is designed for learners to progress at their own pace. On average, the online study and certification exam take 4-6 hours, depending on prior knowledge of advanced life support. For the full provider program, you must also complete a short clinical skills verification form signed by your hospital educator or clinical supervisor. This step confirms your real-world competency and is required before your official ACLS provider card is issued.
How do I get ACLS certified?
To obtain ACLS certification, you simply purchase the course, complete the online training modules and study guides, and pass the exam. After successful completion you'll immediately receive a digital provider certificate valid for two years. A clinical skills verification form must be signed by a local supervisor to finalize your official ACLS provider card. Our ACLS and PALS courses are accredited for 10 continuing education credits, and our BLS certification for 2 CE credits, through the NBECC.
Will I receive an AHA certification card upon course completion?
No. While our ACLS program is based on the science and clinical guidelines published by the American Heart Association (AHA) and ILCOR, your certificate is issued by the National Board of Emergency Care Certifications (NBECC). Only AHA-run courses provide AHA cards, usually through a classroom or blended HeartCode ACLS program that includes an in-person skills test.
Will online ACLS certification be acceptable at most hospitals?
Yes, AMRI's ACLS certification online is widely accepted by hospitals, employers, and healthcare providers across the U.S. Our courses are accredited, designed for nurses, physicians, and medical professionals, and provide accurate information aligned with the latest AHA guidelines. While a small number of institutions require an AHA-issued card, AMRI backs your enrollment with a 100% money-back guarantee if your employer does not accept our certification.
