Advanced Cardiac Life Support

The TTUHSC Simulation Program offers Advanced Cardiac Life Support in two formats, classroom and eLearning (online).

Classroom

Classroom courses for Advanced Cardiac Life Support are offered on the following dates/times at the following locations:

Please make payment arrangements prior to your course date. We accept checks and can also take a Visa or MasterCard in person or over the phone. We do not accept cash.

Classroom Course Prerequisites:

• An ACLS Provider manual is required for every course.
• Participants are required to read the manual prior to the course
• Pretest
• Payment

Manuals may be purchased from the Training Center at time of registration or provided by an employer. The purpose of the manual is to serve as a resource before, during, and after each course. Some retailers also offer the manual as an e-book.

Please make payment arrangements prior to your course date. We accept checks made out to TTUHSC and we can also take a Visa or MasterCard in person or over the phone. We also offer billing options for businesses.

eLearning (online)

The eLearning course for ACLS is the same curriculum offered in the classroom setting. The eLearning Course is self-paced and allows participants the flexibility to complete the course on their own time, in as many sessions as needed. As such, eLearning is recommended when classroom courses are not available.

The eLearning consists of two parts. Part 1 is the self-paced online course. Part 2 is the skills testing which must be completed in person at the Training Center.

We understand that eLearning may not suit everyone’s learning style. We also don’t recommend it for the first time taking the course.

Availability of Skills Testing Part 2- Voice Assisted Manikin

The Training Center utilizes a voice-assisted manikin for the skills portion. The voice-assisted manikin is available during Simulation Program business hours, 8:00 – 4:00, Monday – Friday, excluding holidays. What this means is that skills testing for Part 2 of the eLearning course is not subject to an instructor’s availability.

The only downfall to the increased availability of the voice-assisted manikin, is that Part 1 must be completed within the same system as Part 2, meaning that key codes for Part 1 must be purchased from the TTUHSC Training Center. Key codes purchased from other entities will not qualify for the voice assisted manikin training and require an ACLS instructor.

“I need my certification today”

In the event of a lapse of certification or other urgent need, it is recommended that students complete the eLearning course (Part 1 and Part 2) with the TTUHSC Training Center to expedite the certification process. (Note: Part 1 must be purchased from the TTUHSC Training Center).

Skills Testing For eLearning Part 2 - Instructor Led

If you purchased your key code for Part 1 from another entity or prefer to have an instructor present for your skills testing, we will conduct the skills testing portion of the eLearning course at the following dates and times. Call 806.743.2745 to schedule. 

Please make payment arrangements prior to your course date. We accept checks and can also take a Visa or MasterCard in person or over the phone. We do not accept cash.
