This course is designed for clinicians working in high-acuity and critical care environments, where they regularly participate in, and may be expected to lead, cardiac arrest and complex deterioration scenarios.

Appropriate participants include doctors, nurses and paramedics who regularly work within critical care areas and/or in resuscitation and medical emergency response teams.

Our courses can be contextualised to reflect your local clinical equipment, protocols, and scope of practice, including:

• Critical Care & High-Acuity Clinical Areas
• Pre-Hospital / First Responders
• Select Commercial / Industrial Health Facilities

Completion of ALS1 is not mandatory prior to attending ALS2. However, ALS2 assumes a higher level of foundational knowledge and recent clinical exposure to deterioration and resuscitation events.

Candidates are expected to:

• be registered with AHPRA
• have some experience with basic life support (including CPR)
• complete the provided pre-course learning prior to attendance

Once enrolled and paid, we will send your copy of the Australian Resuscitation Council’s (ARC) Advanced Life Support Level 2 course manual for self-guided pre-reading.

Continuous assessment occurs throughout the ALS2 course.

However, to successfully complete the course, candidates must demonstrate safe and competent independent management of a cardiac arrest simulation and achieve a satisfactory result in the multiple-choice questionnaire.

Assessment is based on structured clinical scenarios designed to evaluate the core competencies taught during the course.

Successful candidates will receive a digital ARC ALS2 provider certification in accordance with Australian Resuscitation Council requirements. This certification is valid for four (4) years and is recognised Australia-wide and throughout the UK and Europe.

All ARC ALS courses are eligible for CPD points from the following colleges:

• Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM)
• Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA)
• Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM)
• College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand (CICM)
• Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP)
• Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)

However, as the systems vary between professional colleges, state and individual organisations, candidates should check with their respective professional bodies for the latest requirements.
