Who it is for

Who takes ACLS in Rancho Cucamonga

ACLS is the American Heart Association course for clinicians who manage cardiac arrest, unstable rhythms, heart attack and stroke in adults.

  • Hospital

    Emergency and critical care nurses

    ER, ICU, telemetry, PACU and cath lab nurses whose unit keeps a current ACLS card on file.

  • Field

    Paramedics

    Rancho Cucamonga's fire district runs paramedic-equipped engines from seven stations, with its All-Risk Training Center at Station 174. If you work cardiac arrests in the field, the megacode practice in ACLS is built for that work.

    Clinicians who need ACLS for hospital privileges, credentialing or a new role.

The course

What the ACLS Provider course covers

ACLS builds on high-quality BLS. The content is the American Heart Association's, the same at every training site. The practice time and the coaching are ours.

  • High-quality CPR and AED use as the base of every case
  • ECG rhythm recognition: VF, pulseless VT, asystole, PEA, bradycardia and tachycardia
  • ACLS drugs: which one, how much and when
  • Airway management and ventilation during a resuscitation
  • Recognizing acute coronary syndromes and stroke
  • Care after return of spontaneous circulation
  • Team roles and closed-loop communication
  • The megacode, then the written exam

Class day

Your ACLS class day, step by step

    CPR and AED warm-up

    High-quality compressions and AED use, the base every ACLS skill builds on.

  3. 3

    Rhythms and drugs

    Work through each rhythm and the drug decisions that go with it, out loud.

  4. 4

    Megacode

    Lead a full adult code with coaching, then take a turn in each team role.

    Exam and eCard

FAQ

ACLS questions from Rancho Cucamonga providers

Where is the ACLS class held in Rancho Cucamonga?

At our classroom at 10788 Civic Center Dr., #240 in Rancho Cucamonga. Directions and a map are on the location page, and ACLS class dates are on the booking calendar.

I work in the emergency department at Kaiser Permanente in Ontario or Fontana. Is this the right ACLS course?

If your unit asks for an American Heart Association ACLS Provider card, yes. This is the AHA ACLS Provider course, and the eCard is issued the same day you pass. We are not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente, so your manager or education department has the final word on which card you need.

Is the AHA ACLS eCard issued the same day?

Yes. Pass the megacode and the written exam and your AHA ACLS Provider eCard is issued the same day. It is valid for 2 years.

Do I need a current BLS card to take ACLS?

ACLS assumes current BLS skills, and many employers want both cards on file. If your BLS card is expired or about to expire, take the ACLS and BLS class instead and leave with both.

Is an online-only ACLS certificate the same thing?

No. AHA ACLS includes a hands-on skills test with an instructor. A certificate with no in-person skills check is not an AHA ACLS card, and employers can refuse it.

What if I need to change my class date?

Move your class free with at least 24 hours notice, and get a full refund if you cancel more than 48 hours before class. If you do not pass the skills test, you get one free retest within 30 days. And if your employer does not accept the card, you get your money back.
