What You Get with ACLS Certification Online Recertification
The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) defines Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) as an algorithmic series of medical procedures and techniques designed for urgent treatment of cardiac arrest, stroke, and similar life-threatening cardiac emergencies. ILCOR's resuscitation standards are followed internationally, and our course content is aligned to them. ACLS builds on BLS (basic life support) with advanced skills such as defibrillation, IV administration, intubation, and ECG analysis.
While CPR and first aid provide foundational emergency response, ACLS prepares you for complex scenarios. Many hospitals and medical facilities require this advanced training, designed for healthcare professionals working with cardiac patients.
Our certifications and renewal training courses are 100 percent guaranteed for certification proof and acceptance. Because we use the same criteria and training as classroom courses, our online certifications are accepted nationally and just as readily recognized. Upon completion, you'll receive your ACLS course completion card for job verification and employer requirements.
All courses are designed by Board-Certified Physicians to deliver high-quality clinical content, adhere to the latest ILCOR Standards and Guidelines, and are Joint Commission (JCAHO) compliant. All courses meet the same guidelines and standards as the ECC/ILCOR and OSHA.

Have questions about the ACLS course?
Many people mistakenly believe that AHA is an accrediting organization. However, this is not the case; our courses are accredited by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM). All of our courses are created by practicing physicians and adhere to the same standards as the most recent ILCOR guidelines.
ACLS certification is required for almost all healthcare professional careers. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support - also known as advanced cardiac life support - is a system of techniques and procedures designed to sustain life after Basic Life Support methods have been employed to resuscitate a person who has suffered from a heart attack or other potentially fatal respiratory condition.
ACLS certification and training significantly enhance medical professionals' ability to save lives, making it useful for any healthcare profession. Typically, ACLS provider cards are required for licensed nurses, nurse practitioners, CRNAs, physicians, EMTs, and professionals who work under the supervision of licensed physicians, such as paramedics or physician assistants. Professionals who work in intensive care units, emergency rooms, and other medical emergency settings may also require certification. This course completion card is often required for job applications and renewal of clinical privileges, making it essential for PALS-certified professionals as well.
ACLS certification is not a lifetime pass. Like most medical certifications, you must stay current with evolving guidelines and procedures. Certifications are usually valid for two years. This is especially true of ACLS, given the hands-on nature and technical knowledge required. Our online ACLS recertification ensures you are up to date with any new procedures and helps build on the skills and training you already have.
The highly developed, advanced curriculum of our online certification courses is constructed in accordance with ILCOR standards and guidelines. Our online courses replicate classroom lessons, with one significant difference: you can take them on your schedule and at the location of your choice, no more valuable free time and weekends spent in classrooms.
With AMC, you can be assured that our online certification and recertification courses meet the same quality standards as classroom training, with the added benefit of convenience and the gift of time. Our online courses include thorough study guides with no additional training materials required. Instead of traveling and waiting through a typical renewal class, you can review and renew at your own pace at a time that fits your schedule.
Additionally, we don't eliminate the human touch just because you're taking the course online. Our team of friendly, knowledgeable support staff is available seven days a week via live chat, email, or phone, for anything you need.
