American Heart Assocation (AHA) ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT

The ALS Modules are eLearning modules designed for advanced healthcare providers seeking additional content beyond ACLS and those seeking Continuing Education (CE) Credit. The modules are presented in the form of adaptive self-directed learning content. Students follow an adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance and their self-reported confidence level related to each probing question.

ALS eLearning modules are offered for the following topics: Trauma, Opioid, Advanced ECG, Procedural Sedation, Advanced Airway Management, Maternal Cardiac Arrest, High-Performance Teams, Respiratory Emergencies, Post-Cardiac Arrest care, and Mechanical Circulatory Systems.

The AHA’s ALS Modules are designed for providers who are seeking additional content beyond the ACLS Provider Course content and/or seeking CE credit. This includes personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics, and others.

All ALS Modules can be purchased by scrolling down this page. Once purchased, modules will be emailed to you and can be accessed on eLearning.Heart.org.

Before taking ALS Modules, students should have a mastery of BLS and ACLS cognitive information. However, there is no requirement/prerequisite to complete a BLS or ACLS Provider Course prior to taking an ALS Module.

Due to the adaptive technology used in these modules, the completion time varies based on the student’s self-assessment and knowledge of the cognitive material. The average time to complete is 15- 45 minutes.
