We are proud to announce that ACLS Academy has passed the American Heart Association audit and has been designated an AHA Training Center. There is seemingly an endless number of American Heart Association (AHA) training sites, but only a select few can use the title of AHA Training Center. The American Heart Association has established a fleet of Training Centers to help deliver Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) educational courses. This fleet of Training Centers helps strengthen the Chain of Survival by monitoring the proper administration and quality of the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Courses.
Becoming an AHA Training Center is a more stringent process than you may find with other groups, such as the Red Cross or Health Safety Instructor, as the AHA's dedication to quality is unparalleled. As an AHA Training Center, ACLS Academy had to meet AHA criteria, including:
1. Teaching AHA courses in accordance with the official AHA Guidelines.
2. Maintaining at least five AHA Instructors who train at least 3000 BLS students, 600 ACLS students, and 450 PALS students collectively each year.
3. Owning and maintaining all equipment needed for teaching AHA courses.
4. Meeting minimum technical requirements such as using the latest version of one of the top Internet browsers, maintaining knowledge of and effectively using the AHA Instructor Network, eCards, eLearning, eBooks, etc.
AHA Training Centers are certified businesses that work closely with the American Heart Association to provide the utmost care and education when teaching others American Heart Association courses like Heartsaver CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, PEARS, and more. AHA Training Centers must adhere to rigorous guidelines and hold integrity in their business practices while facilitating quality education.
As an AHA Training Center, ACLS Academy is responsible for managing many moving pieces, some of which include:
Providing our Training Sites and instructors with timely communication of any new or updated information about the Training Centers
Regional or National procedures
Course content
Policies
Course administration could affect an instructor while carrying out their responsibilities
American Heart Association Training Centers are the most recognized and supported training collective in the United States because of the AHA's quality research and curriculum.
