What is CPR Certification Labs ACLS Certification & ACLS Renewal?

CPR Certification Labs AHA ACLS is a hybrid training program combining an adaptive online AHA Heartcode ACLS course with an in-person skills assessment. This design allows you to learn at home and then demonstrate your practical skills at our training center, ensuring you stay current with American Heart Association standards for advanced cardiac life support.

CPR Certification Labs ACLS is an innovative program for American Heart Association ACLS Provider certification designed to adapt to your level of expertise. Here’s how our AHA ACLS Course works:

Adaptive Knowledge Portion (Online)

Complete the updated and adaptive AHA Heartcode ACLS online course at home. Beginners may take 2 hours or more, while experienced learners can finish in an hour or less.

Hands-on Skills Portion (In-Person)

Your in-person skills course will be guided by our voice-enabled manikin technology, providing the most accurate feedback possible on your compression, breathing, and team skills techniques. The skills course adjusts to your level of expertise—the skills module typically takes up to 45 minutes.

A live, virtually connected instructor is always available if you need help, and they can guide you through any part of the process.

This hybrid approach ensures you gain both the theoretical knowledge and the practical expertise required for advanced cardiac life support.

Our process guarantees you will pass, and includes our money-back guarantee policy.

Intended Audience

This ACLS course is designed for healthcare professionals working in adult critical care settings—such as emergency departments, intensive care units, surgery, and pre-hospital care. It is also ideal for students and clinicians requiring certification to provide lifesaving interventions during cardiac or respiratory emergencies.

  • Acute Coronary Syndromes: Identification and management of cardiac events
  • ECG & Pharmacology Review: Understanding cardiac rhythms and medications
