ACLS Certification: Advanced Training Updated to the Latest AHA Guidelines
Take your skills beyond Basic Life Support with our ACLS course. We focus on high-quality CPR and how teams work together in a crisis. Our classes are kept small so you get the attention you need, and we've already helped more than 100,000 students get certified. You can choose between blended learning or in-person classes right here in Fresno or at our locations nationwide.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Training
Building on Your Foundation
This ACLS course takes your existing BLS skills and applies them to high-pressure cardiovascular emergencies. We focus on the latest 2020 American Heart Association guidelines, emphasizing the importance of high-quality CPR and the use of advanced equipment. Through realistic clinical simulations, you'll master airway management, pharmacology, and how to identify complex heart rhythms.
The Power of Teamwork
In a code situation, technical skill is only part of the solution; you need a team that works together perfectly. Our training focuses on the specific roles of team members and leaders, teaching you how to communicate clearly and coordinate interventions effectively. We keep our classes small, with a maximum of 12 students, so everyone gets plenty of hands-on practice and personal feedback from our instructors.
Training That Fits Your Schedule
We know healthcare schedules are demanding, so we offer two ways to get certified. You can take our full in-person course for a traditional, instructor-led experience, or choose the HeartCode ACLS blended learning model. With the blended option, you complete the online portion at your own pace and then join us for a quick, one to four hour hands-on skills session. Both paths lead to the same official certification you need for your practice.

Carnegie Safety Institute CSI is the BEST place to get certifications for my needs at work! I have gotten my PALS with them twice and I will definitely look into using them for my other certifications in the future. They are very quick to respond and work with my already crazy schedule to accomplish the class. THANK YOU
