This training prepares participants to work in high-performance teams; perform rapid assessment, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with minimal interruptions; use automated external defibrillators (AED); provide ventilation using specialized equipment; and relieve airway obstructions in patients of every age.

Advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) is an advanced resuscitation course for the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies in adult patients. ACLS is geared towards healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of these emergencies or personnel in emergency response.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), foreign body airway obstruction, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) are the key components of these courses. Most cardiac arrests and incidents of choking happen at home, in public places and workplaces. A CPR/AED course is designed to provide members of the general public who are not healthcare providers with the skills and confidence to respond to these emergencies while awaiting assistance from medical professionals.
