Course Overview
This Ascendant CPR package coordinates two separate American Heart Association blended-learning courses: HeartCode BLS and HeartCode ACLS. Students complete each online portion independently, then attend a coordinated hands-on visit to demonstrate the required BLS skills and ACLS skills/MegaCode performance. Each discipline retains its own course requirements and results in its own provider course completion card.
