HeartCode Advanced Cardiosvascular Life Support (ACLS) Complete Online - Online Course Information

Sep 23, 2026

HeartCode ACLS Online provides the online component of ACLS blended learning, guiding learners through a personalized, adaptive pathway to ACLS mastery and readiness for hands-on practice and testing. The program structures study into self-directed content, probes, and Cognitive Assessment Activities, using learner performance and self-reported confidence to continually adjust the route. Learning objectives cover systems of care, adult assessment using BLS/Primary/Secondary sequences, ACS and stroke early recognition and disposition, management of bradycardias and tachycardias, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, and post–cardiac arrest care with continuous CPR quality feedback.

HeartCode Advanced Cardiosvascular Life Support (ACLS) Complete Online; Enduring Web course Original Release Date: 10/21/2020 Last Review Date: October 2023 Termination Date: 10/19/2026 Description HeartCode ACLS Online is the online portion of ACLS blended learning that will prepare students for hands-on practice and testing of skills. It uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets learners on the most efficient path to ACLS mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance, and their self-reported confidence level related to each probe. The course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probes, and Cognitive Assessment Activities. Learning Objectives At the conclusion, participants should be able to 1. Define systems of care 2. Apply the BLS, Primary, and Secondary Assessments sequence for a systematic evaluation of adult patients 3. Discuss how the use of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) may improve patient outcomes 4. Discuss early recognition and management of ACS, including appropriate disposition 5. Discuss early recognition and management of stroke, including appropriate disposition 6. Recognize bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome 7. Perform early management of bradycardias and tachycardias that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome 8. Model effective communication as a member or leader of a high-performance team 9. Recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance 10. Recognize respiratory arrest 11. Perform early management of respiratory arrest 12. Recognize cardiac arrest 13. Perform prompt, high-quality BLS including prioritizing early chest compressions and integrating early automated external defibrillator (AED) use 14. Perform early management of cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including immediate post–cardiac arrest care 15. Evaluate resuscitative efforts during a cardiac arrest through continuous assessment of CPR quality, monitoring the patient’s physiologic response, and delivering real-time feedback to the team Accreditation Terms Joint Accreditation: 10/20/2023 – 10/19/2026 CAPCE: 10/20/2023 – 10/19/2026 AARC: 10/21/2024 – 10/21/2025 Accreditation Statements Joint Accreditation Statements In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by The American Heart Association.
