Description
Develop critical skills for managing cardiopulmonary emergencies. HSI ACLS training combines theoretical insights and hands-on scenarios to prepare you for real-world cardiovascular crises.
The HSI Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Initial training course is designed for healthcare professionals who lead or assist in cardiopulmonary emergencies. The course integrates scenario-based education with practical skill refinement, focusing on high-quality basic life support (HQ-BLS), ECG interpretation, and essential medication management. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE), this course ensures compliance with internationally recognised standards in emergency cardiovascular care. Participants gain certification valid for two years, recognised across Europe, Australia, and the USA.
Compliance

Accredited by CAPCE to meet international standards for EMS continuing education.

Previous knowledge

Healthcare experience is typically expected, as ACLS is designed for medical professionals. Delegates should be qualified to provide high-quality basic life support (HQ-BLS) and be able to interpret basic ECG readings. An understanding of basic resuscitation pharmacology and medication preparation is also required.

Requirements

Participants must have the necessary physical and cognitive ability to perform the required skills, including CPR, which involves physical effort and kneeling on the floor.

Progression

Qualify to advance to courses such as Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) for further emergency care specialisation.

Theoretical elements

– Chain of Survival and CPR fundamentals.
– Resuscitation therapies and cardiac rhythm management.
– Acute coronary syndromes and ischemic stroke.

Practical elements

– HQ-BLS application and airway management.
– Simulated management of VT/VF and other arrhythmias.
– Team-based resuscitation simulations.
