AHA ACLS Instructor class
The ACLS Instructor class is designed to prepare instructor candidates to teach AHA instructor led ACLS courses. It educates instructor candidates on how to use AHA instructor teaching materials, ensure that students meet the learning objectives, offer student coaching, provide objective skills performance evaluation and follow AHA instructor policies.
The purpose of an ACLS Instructor Course is to develop proficiency in teaching, organizing, coordinating and conducting an ACLS Provider Course. ACLS Instructors must have a firm working knowledge and understanding of the ACLS material. They are also expected to demonstrate in-depth detailed knowledge of current emergency cardiac care.
