The skills involved in your ACLS check-off will focus on your BLS interventions. Your instructor will work with you to make sure you’re comfortable performing the following skills:Chest compressions, Pocket-mask ventilations, Bag-mask ventilations, and Use of the AED (defibrillator)
You will be presented with an “in-hospital” adult BLS scenario so you can practice these skills in sequence. Following this opportunity to practice, your instructor will then test your skills by asking you to perform the scenario without any assistance or intervention from the instructor.

Once the adult check-off is complete, your instructor will also assess your ability to identify respiratory arrest and provide rescue breaths with a bag-mask device.

This hands-on skills check-off is for healthcare providers seeking certification who have completed the Online AHA ACLS Part 1 course within the last sixty days.

Please remember that you MUST complete the online portion and bring the AHA Certificate of Completion to the skills check off. The instructor cannot perform the skills check-off unless you provide documentation of completion of the online portion of the course!
