American Heart Association ACLS Instructor Class

This 8 hour American Heart Association course is designed to give experienced ACLS providers the didactic and hands-on skills necessary to effectively teach others to provide Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Candidates will learn how to make effective presentations of ACLS information and materials, manage learning stations according to the resuscitation team concept and function as the leader in all components of an ACLS Provider course. The class includes role-playing and class discussions of teaching techniques and strategies, including key points to emphasize to students. This program is approved by and meets the behavioral objectives of the AHA for ACLS instruction and is based upon the most recent guidelines published by the AHA.

Instructor candidates will be tested for proficiency in core teaching competencies, including communication and presentation skills, ability to stimulate and motivate students, provide clarification and feedback, assess learning and performance and provide remediation. Upon successful completion of the course, Nursing Unlimited will be able to conveniently monitor instructor candidates in our ongoing ACLS Provider classes.
All prospective instructors must have current AHA ACLS provider status, have completed the AHA Core Instructor Course and be aligned with an AHA Training Center.
