ACLS HeartCode (Hybrid) is a two-part class designed for busy healthcare providers. First, you complete the American Heart Association’s HeartCode® ACLS online at your own pace, including the learning modules and final quiz. Then you schedule a short in-person skills session at OMI (about 1–2 hours), where an AHA Instructor checks your BLS and ACLS “mega code” skills and answers any last questions. After you pass both parts, you receive the same AHA ACLS Provider eCard (valid for 2 years) as the full classroom course. Just bring a photo ID and your HeartCode completion certificate to the skills session, this hybrid format gives you flexible study time with a quick, focused hands-on checkout.

Upon completion of enrollment and payment the student will receive an email containing their AHA Online ACLS Instructor Essentials Module and their AHA ACLS Instructor Manual. When the student completes the online Instructor Essentials Module they will simply email the certificate to John Gibson at jgibson@omi.edu and schedule their Training Center Instructor Led portion of the course.

An instructor candidate must complete all requirements and align with an approved primary AHA TC that is authorized by the AHA to teach in that territory before teaching a course other than the initial monitored course. Only instructors aligned with a TC are authorized to teach courses and issue course completion cards.

The following are requirements for instructor primary alignment:

  • No fees are paid to the AHA for this alignment. Any fees charged for instructor alignment are solely at the discretion of the TC.
  • The TCC may require a meeting with or monitoring of the instructor applicant before acceptance. The course monitoring will be done by designated TCF. The TCC decides whether to accept the instructor for alignment. This decision is final.
  • TCs may cancel the alignment (deactivate) of an instructor with their TC who fails to act in accordance with AHA course policy or TC policy.
  • TCs are not obligated to accept all instructors who apply for alignment. The TC has the sole right to determine which instructors to keep on its roster based on its criteria.
  • An instructor may align with more than 1 AHA TC. The instructor may have to meet additional teaching and monitoring requirements as determined by each additional TC.

 

ACLS is an advanced, Instructor-led classroom course that highlights the importance of team dynamics and communication, systems of care and immediate post-cardiac arrest care. It also covers airway management and related pharmacology. In this course, skills are taught in large, group sessions and small, group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios are presented.

Medical professionals who respond to cardiovascular emergencies in and out of the hospital enhance their treatment knowledge and skills through the AHA’s ACLS training courses.
