What is the difference between your ACLS initial certification and recertification courses?

ACLS initial certification versus recertification:

Both courses offer the same content, but there are some important differences:

In the ProACLS initial certification course:

• The course is about 6 hours long (including the video training, scenarios, and test).
• Students must watch all of the videos before moving to the scenarios and test.
• Approved for 8.0 CME/Contact hours/Credits through ACME, AAPA, AAFP, ACPE, ADA/CERP, ANCC, AGD, and CAPCE.

Whereas in the ProACLS recertification course:

• Students may skip the video training, so the course can be shorter in length depending on the student’s pace.
• The scenarios and test are still required for completion and are roughly 2 hours long.
• Approved for 4.0 CME/Contact hours/Credits through ACME, AAPA, AAFP, ACPE, ADA/CERP, and ANCC Approved for 8.0 credits with AGD and CAPCE.
