How Often Do I Have to Renew My ACLS Certification?

If you’re an healthcare professional with an expired ACLS certification, you know what you’ve got to do: it’s time to get your ACLS recertification! If your job requires you to be ACLS-certified, there are many sound reasons to renew your ACLS certification. One such reason is that this approach employs more advanced techniques than the Basic Life Support program which the ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) program was based on does. Firstly, the schedule for the ACLS recert course is flexible and convenient, the course itself is provided in a stress-free environment and you can actually learn from it even if your career spans decades. Secondly, an ACLS recertification will not only prepare you to think on your feet and potentially make life-saving decisions with an unflinching determination, but also secure your access to life-changing career opportunities.
