Frequently Asked Questions
Does the $130.99 fee include the AHA online course?
No. The $130.99 fee covers your hands-on equipment, instructor evaluation, and official same-day eCard processing at our facility. The online portion (HeartCode® ACLS) is purchased separately through the AHA portal (elearning.heart.org).
Do I need to do the Precourse Self-Assessment for a skills session?
If you have completed the HeartCode® ACLS online module, the precourse self-assessment is built directly into that program. Just bring your printed or digital HeartCode® ACLS Certificate of Completion to your appointment.
What if I make a mistake during the megacode?
Rescue CPR provides a supportive, low-stress training environment. If you hesitate on an algorithm step or drug dosage, our instructors coach you through the intervention and allow you to re-demonstrate the scenario to ensure you are confident and competent.
Can I also renew my BLS card during this appointment?
Yes. If you also complete HeartCode® BLS online, let us know and you can complete both your BLS and ACLS hands-on checkouts in the same visit.
