- Part one: After registering for the course, participants will receive ACLS Heartcode CD and instructions. Complete requirements and pass of the written test with a minimum score of 84 percent. Print the completion certificate.
- Part two: Participants enroll in a skills testing session offered at Saint Francis Medical Center within 30 days of completing part one.
