You want to continue to have the ability to save lives. It may seem like certifying once would allow you to use ACLS to save lives forever. Still, ACLS guidelines and best practices—and, therefore, the certification requirements—are constantly changing and evolving. This is why you must complete your ACLS recertification every two years. Better methods and improved technologies are constantly being discovered and revealed, making staying on top of the knowledge the key to saving lives.

By offering ACLS recertification in an entirely online format and environment, we can simplify your recertification process because you don’t have to drive to a class or pick an exact time to schedule your course. Study and take your ACLS recertification test at home, on break, or at any place and time that works best for you. And because we don’t need to set up physical venues and instructors, we can keep ACLS renewal costs low and pass those savings on to you. Our training and recertification programs are offered 100% online, are nationally accredited, and are always current and up-to-date with the latest techniques, methods, and knowledge.

Absolutely, and that’s what we’re here for! Our online ACLS recertification courses are accepted as hour-for-hour equivalents to in-person classes by most medical institutions and employers (though we recommend that you confirm that with your employer before signing up for your ACLS renewal with us). Our online courses are accredited in partnership with the Postgraduate Institute of Medicine (PIM). Over one hundred thousand healthcare professionals have successfully earned and maintained their emergency life support certifications with our online ACLS renewal courses. We work closely with healthcare facilities to have our cards accepted for you all in institutions all over the US.

Your ACLS certification is valid for two years. To remain actively certified, you must renew your ACLS recertification every two years. You can renew your ACLS online through one of our recertification courses.

Our online ACLS renewal courses and our PALS and NRP recertification courses are approved for 4 CEUs/CMEs (original certification courses are approved for 8 CEUs/CMEs). For more information, please visit our Accreditation page. The BLS recertification course is approved for 2 CEUs/CMEs. (The original BLS certification course is approved for 4 CEUs/CMEs.)

We suggest you don’t let your certification lapse for more than 30 days before completing the ACLS renewal course online. Employers have varying requirements, so we recommend you ask your employer about their requirements for recertification. When you’re ready to renew, our ACLS recertification courses are designed to help busy professionals like you recertify quickly and conveniently.
