Our ALS course is designed to meet Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines* for cardiopulmonary resuscitation care.

Who should attend?
This course is designed for healthcare professionals who may not regularly encounter critical events but require advanced life support competency. Please consider your existing level of knowledge and experience before enrolling.
For those who need only Basic Life Support (BLS) or CPR—as commonly required for general practitioners—our team can provide guidance on the most appropriate course to meet your learning needs.
