Every bit as thorough as the classroom. Perhaps, even better than live because they have had time to develop and refine the their teaching video modules; no meandering off topic or rushing through the... See more

A good course filled with a lot of content, at times very repetitive, but informative. Practice test was so much easier than the actual exam. Need more rhythm strip questions on the practice exam. O... See more

Course is good, Technical support poor

The course itself is good.
However, technical support is poor.
I sent several correspondences via email and phone. I spoke to Angela about not being able to download certificates. She didn’t seem to understand my request and wanted to send another email. She seemed annoyed by my request to send it another way (fax/email pic). It’s been almost 14 days and I haven’t received either certificates by mail. Angela also told me she would call to find out if the certificates were returned or mailed to the wrong address. I’m still waiting for a response as I need this info for reappointment.

I especially like the videos

I especially like the videos. My only recommendation would be to have more videos. Some people, like myself, are visual learners. The gentleman in the video was a fantastic teacher.

The Test Is Too Tricky

The material presented was comprehensive and well done. The videos were excellent. Some videos were corny but effective. My chief complaint was the test. It was tricky and did not effectively reflect the material to be tested. For example one question was about the external pacer. The question asked which should be done first: apply the pads or turn on the pacer? This is not a substantive question. Another question was what should be done upon admission to the cardiac ICU: obtain an EKG or administer ASA? Of course that depends on how many EKGs and ASAs were administered in the ER and either answer could easily be supported by written material in the course. My suggestion is that
the entire battery of test questions be reworked with the aid of a professional adult educator.

Interesting

They have corny portions of the course that makes it interesting and not as boring. :)

Got my refund

My certification from ACLS was not accepted by my school, but ACLS refunded me my money. I was very thankful for this.

5 stars!

Quick to review, easy to access, and readily available information with the latest guidelines. Best of all you get to print or keep a digital copy of your certificates (and CME credits) whenever you need them.

The test was a little difficult

The test was a little difficult. I even went back to the material and couldn’t find the answers. It took me two times to pass the test. Otherwise, the videos were helpful and the material was laid out appropriately.
