Earn ANA-Approved CE Credits
Eligible ACLS Academy courses include:
· BLS - 3 CE Credits
· ACLS - 8 CE Credits
· PALS - 8 CE Credits
· PEARS - 7.5 CE Credits
But before you register, there's one important question every healthcare professional should ask: Will this course also earn Continuing Education (CE) credits?
Many healthcare professionals are surprised to learn that not every training center offers this added value.
At ACLS Academy, eligible BLS, ACLS, PALS, and PEARS courses are approved by the American Nurses Association of Massachusetts (ANA-MA) for Continuing Education credits. That means many nurses and healthcare providers can renew a required certification while simultaneously earning valuable CE credits.
When you're already investing your time in professional education, it simply makes sense to choose a course that gives you more in return.
Not Every Certification Course Delivers the Same Experience
Every American Heart Association course teaches the required curriculum and leads to the same nationally recognized certification.
So how do you choose where to take your class? Many healthcare professionals compare schedules, tuition, and location. Those are certainly important. But they're only part of the decision.
The training provider you choose also determines the quality of instruction you'll receive, the educational resources available to you, the support you'll receive after class, and whether your course provides benefits beyond the certification itself.
That's where the difference begins.
Why Healthcare Professionals Choose ACLS Academy
Healthcare professionals aren't simply looking for a place to renew a certification. They're looking for a training partner they can trust throughout their careers. At ACLS Academy, every course is built around one goal: providing exceptional education that prepares healthcare providers to respond confidently when lives are on the line.
ACLS Academy is an American Heart Association Certified Training Center
Not every organization offering American Heart Association courses operates at the same level. ACLS Academy is proud to be an American Heart Association Certified Training Center, a designation that reflects a higher level of responsibility and educational oversight.
As a Certified Training Center, ACLS Academy not only delivers American Heart Association courses but also maintains rigorous quality standards, supports affiliated instructors and Training Sites, and helps ensure lifesaving education is delivered consistently and accurately.
For students, that means confidence knowing your training comes from an organization committed to excellence.
ACLS Academy is an American Heart Association All-Star Award Recipient
Recognition matters. ACLS Academy has also been recognized as an American Heart Association All-Star Training Center, an honor awarded to organizations demonstrating exceptional performance, operational excellence, and a continued commitment to high-quality lifesaving education.
While every certification teaches the required curriculum, not every training provider earns recognition for consistently delivering it at the highest level.
Earn More From Every Certification
At ACLS Academy, eligible BLS, ACLS, PALS, and PEARS courses provide Continuing Education credits approved by the American Nurses Association of Massachusetts. Instead of simply renewing your certification, you're also earning CE credits that support your professional development and licensure requirements.
It's one class accomplishing two important professional goals.
Learn From Providers Who Use These Skills Every Day
The best instructors don't simply teach algorithms. They teach how those algorithms are applied during real patient emergencies. Every ACLS Academy instructor is an experienced healthcare professional who brings firsthand clinical knowledge into the classroom. Their practical insights, patient stories, and real-world perspective help bridge the gap between textbook learning and confident clinical decision-making.
It's the philosophy behind ACLS Academy's commitment to being For Providers, by Providers.
One Training Partner Throughout Your Career
Healthcare careers continue to evolve.
A nursing student may begin with BLS.
Later, they earn ACLS for emergency or critical care.
Some continue into pediatric specialties and complete PALS or PEARS.
As careers grow, additional certifications such as TNCC, ENPC, NRP, ACLS EP, or instructor courses may become the next step.
