Advanced Life Support (ALS) Courses – ACCCN Accredited
The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses (ACCCN), a member organisation of the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), accredits our Advanced Life Support (ALS) programs. These courses offer high-quality education in Adult, Paediatric and Instructor-level resuscitation.
The ACCCN National Advanced Life Support Education program provides practical, evidence-based training for healthcare professionals, including nursing, medical and defence force staff. It suits clinicians who work in critical care environments or who regularly care for critically ill patients.
Because the program builds on existing ALS knowledge, participants should already be familiar with core ALS practices. During the course, you will develop the skills and confidence to lead an ALS team effectively. Before enrolling, please review the ACCCN ALS Team Leader Assessment Criteria to understand the expectations and assessment requirements (download here).
Moreover, all content aligns with current recommendations from ANZCOR, the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), ensuring each course reflects the latest evidence and best practice.
