Intensive hands-on course (1:3 instructor ratio) featuring:
Continuous assessment (airway, CPR, safe defibrillation, teamwork) plus a final simulated scenario (CAST) where you lead the team.
Success in continuous assessment and CAST earns the ERC ALS certificate (3-year validity) downloadable via CoSy. Those not meeting ALS standards may receive ERC BLS or ILS at faculty discretion.
In-depth information on the ERC ALS course curriculum, assessment, and logistics.
This two-day advanced life support provider course, developed by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC), is based on the latest 2021 ERC guidelines. It teaches evidence-based resuscitation guidelines and skills to healthcare professionals using a standardized approach.
The course is designed to reflect changes in resuscitation education, focusing on adult learning principles. It prepares members of multi-disciplinary teams to manage peri-arrest situations and treat patients until transfer to a critical care unit. It also incorporates the complexity of cardiac arrest situations, including decision-making and effective communication with the team and relatives, highlighting the importance of non-technical skills.
