American Heart Association Programme
|
| The American Heart Association (AHA) is a leading nonprofit organization in the United States, dedicated to advancing heart and brain health worldwide. Founded in 1924, the AHA is committed to reducing the global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and stroke through education, research, advocacy, and community initiatives. Professional Training: The AHA is a global leader in life-saving training programs, including CPR, Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Their guidelines for resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care are considered the gold standard worldwide.

HeartCode® BLS (American Heart Association)
|
HeartCode® BLS is the American Heart Association’s blended learning program for Basic Life Support (BLS) certification. The course combines self-paced online learning with a hands-on skills practice and assessment session conducted by an AHA Instructor. Participants first complete the interactive online modules, which cover the core science and decision-making behind resuscitation. After completing the online portion, learners attend a practical skills session to demonstrate CPR, AED use, and airway management on training manikins.
This blended learning approach allows students to study the theory anytime and anywhere, while the in-person session focuses on hands-on performance and real-life resuscitation scenarios. Upon successful completion of both the online course and skills assessment, participants will receive the American Heart Association BLS Provider eCard, which is valid for 2 years and internationally recognised.

Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)
|
American Heart Association (AHA)
|
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) course by the American Heart Association is an advanced resuscitation program designed for healthcare professionals who manage or respond to cardiac arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies. This course builds upon the foundation of Basic Life Support (BLS) and focuses on the systematic assessment and treatment of adult patients experiencing life-threatening cardiac events, including cardiac arrest, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes.
Participants learn to integrate ECG rhythm recognition, airway management, defibrillation, and emergency medications while working effectively within a resuscitation team. Training includes hands-on practice, simulated clinical scenarios, and team-based “megacode” resuscitation exercises. Upon successful completion, participants will receive the American Heart Association ACLS Provider eCard, valid for 2 years and internationally recognised.

- Recognise and manage cardiac arrest rhythms (VF, VT, PEA, Asystole)
- Manage symptomatic bradycardia and tachycardia
- Perform advanced airway management and ventilation
- Interpret ECG rhythms for clinical decision making
- Administer ACLS emergency medications
- Apply systematic patient assessment using ACLS algorithms
- Manage acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and stroke
- Function effectively in high-performance resuscitation teams
|
|

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider Course
|
American Heart Association (AHA)
|
The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider Course by the American Heart Association equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required to recognize and manage critically ill infants and children experiencing respiratory emergencies, shock, or cardiac arrest. This advanced course focuses on early recognition, systematic assessment, and evidence-based treatment of pediatric emergencies using structured algorithms and team-based resuscitation principles.
Participants will learn how to stabilize pediatric patients, perform high-quality CPR, manage respiratory failure and shock, and respond effectively to pediatric cardiac arrest through hands-on skills stations and simulated emergency scenarios. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive the American Heart Association PALS Provider eCard, valid for 2 years and internationally recognised.
