Who Should Take This

Who Needs ACLS

ACLS is required for emergency department staff, ICU and critical care nurses, code team members, paramedics, anesthesia providers, cath lab staff, and many physicians. It is typically required alongside a current BLS card. If your employer has asked for ACLS, they usually mean the full provider course, but renewal courses are shorter and valid as long as your current card has not expired.
