There are four primary
ACLS algorithms in
this ACLS training
which include
- The Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
- Bradycardia Algorithm
- Tachycardia Algorithm
- The Post-Cardiac Arrest Algorithm.
The Learn & Master ACLS Training Course makes learning these ACLS algorithms simple, and each algorithm can be quickly mastered through the series of modules which include written content, short algorithm review videos, EKG rhythm interpretation, practice tests, and multiple choice megacode skills scenarios.
Two Methods of Review
If you are new to ACLS and/or would like a guided approach to quickly learn and master all of the ACLS algorithms, use the Interactive Course Guide
If you prefer independent study, you can download the Learn & Master ACLS Checklist to keep track of what you have reviewed here on the site.
After completing all of the multiple-choice megacode scenarios, you will round off your preparation for the AHA ACLS megacode skills station by watching the ACLS megacode series videos that take you through real-time megacode scenarios and sharpen your retention and recall of the training material. You can also improve your rhythm recognition by reviewing the rapid rhythm identification videos. If you use the Interactive Course Guide 2.0, all of this content is built into the course.
Learn & Master ACLS provides you with straightforward, systematic, and comprehensive ACLS Training with hundreds of ACLS questions, scenarios, and other training tools.

Most comprehensive study guide ever. Very organized making it easy
to follow. Some of the practice questions are exactly the same as
on the exam. Thank you.
This was so easy to use and so helpful.
I plugged away at it little pieces at a time and feel so much more
confident.
I purchased the two week package just to be able to use the rhythm
strip review and they were immensely helpful. I also greatly
appreciated how easy it was to skip to the parts I did need review
on. Thank you!
The ACLS review was a huge help!
A week ago after having months of anxiety….I passed with
confidence thanks to your course. I highly recommend it to anyone
renewing or taking ACLS.
Jeff, your ACLS study course is priceless. I gained a great
understanding of algorithms. I would recommend your ACLS training
and review.

I just passed! I had a traumatic brain injury one year ago…ICP’s in the 30’s and 40’s, fixed and dilated twice, bone flap out. Learned how to eat and walk again. Went back to work and am able to give chemo. to children again. No adult experience, but still got my ACLS! Thanks to this website help! Thank you Jeff! PALS is next week, is there a review for that too?
Jeff with admin. says
Thanks for the question comment and question at the site. First off, great job with your recovery from the traumatic brain injury and getting back into work! Great job also with passing ACLS.
For your question about PALS, I do not have any PALS content at this time. I have looked around for something I can recommend, but I cannot find anything worth recommending. Your best resource at this time will be the AHA PALS provider manual.
Kind regards, Jeff

When my potential employer told me that I only had 10 days to take my initial ACLS course and pass because I needed to have it before my start date, I was freaking out! I thought there was no way I was going to pass in such a short amount of time. Well, I am happy to have found this website because I couldn’t have done it otherwise. I took my test last Friday and passed with flying colors! Jeff, thank you so much for making this website so affordable. It really is a life saver, especially when your pressed for time like I was. 🙂
Jeff with admin. says
I’m so glad that the site was helpful. I don’t encourage procrastination, but I’m glad that, even with the short notice, you did so well.
Kind regards, Jeff

a few comments, my name is tom. i’m a recent graduate from a 2 year nursing program. i did this acls to better position myself for a job. i’m a hands on learner so i ignored your algorithms and went right to your exams and megacodes…one at a time. i never got below 75 % but kept retaking each one until perfect. slowly, over c 8 hours of diligence, i got through them all. when i was done, THEN i looked at the algorithms and knew them well. because of your outstanding program, i entered today’s acls exam with profound, yet humble confidence. i scored a 98 on the written and was told i was awesome on my megacodes. my certification is now in my wallet.
THERE IS NO WAY i would have done well without this outstanding androgogy of yours. Thank you sincerely for this program of yours. i hope it makes you rich. you deserve it. you help many folks. best money i ever spent.
BUT
a few discrepancies i want you to be aware of. first, my instructors want to give epi during pulseless VT/VF after the first shock, not the second. they told us to give cpr, read rhythm, shock, cpr, give epi, rhythm check, shock, Cpr, amio 300, alternating epi and amio until 450 amio is given. but you want amio after the third shock…. just saying.
one other thing, for unsynchronized, they said the first is 200 joules, the second and third are also 200 joules, never increasing and never starting at 120. i think you were giving 120-200-300-360 with a monophasic and they just concentrated on a biphasic. you may have told us this, but i didn’t see it anywhere. my education came when i asked them why we’re not upping the jolt. would you consider making this more clear for future clients of yours ?
what a great job you did for me. nobody should attempt acls without you. i promise you, i will tell them so. thanks again,
tom
Jeff with admin. says
Question 1:
In my personal experience, we always give epinephrine as soon as possible during the arrest process. Sometimes we even give it before the first shock if CPR has already been started. To be honest, I do not know why AHA as left epinephrine after the first shock. I have not found any clear information on this in the literature. In the algorithms, I do try and stick exactly with the AHA Algorithms for consistency, but I personally agree with your instructors.
Question 2:
For biphasic defibrillators, in the cardiac arrest algorithm, AHA recommends a starting dose of 120 J and incrementally increasing to 360 J. Remember, the AHA ACLS algorithms are simply recommendations and individual hospitals, ambulance services, etc. Can develop their own protocols. According to Joint Commission protocols just need to be evidence based. I’m not sure why your instructors would not increase the dose if there is no conversion. The likelihood of conversion with 200 J after an unsuccessful attempt with 200 J would be very low. Personally, in my opinion, if a patient does not convert at 120 J, I go straight to the highest setting on the defibrillator. The highest setting on biphasic defibrillator can vary but is usually 200 J or 360 J. I have seen both. The hospital that I work at uses Biphasic defibrillators with a max dose of 360 J.
I hope this answers your questions. Thanks for the questions and feedback.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Gracie says
Thank you! I learned a lot and was very relaxed taking the test and going through the mega codes. I have shared this site with my friends. See you guys in two years. Keep up the great work.
Debbie says
This is the best teaching tool I have ever used. Today was the last time I will ever have to take ACLS and this was the most relaxed time I have ever taken it because I learned so much using this site. I wish this had been around for the last 35 years 🙂 Thank You Jeff and I have told my co-workers about your site.
Kristin says
LOVE your site! I had my first renewal this October and just happened to find your site online while searching for help to study. I am definitly more of a hands on and visual learner and I am happy to say that after using your site for just a few hours for 2 days before my test I did great and felt very confident about the material. THANKS!
Do you have a site just like this for PALS? Please make one if you don’t 🙂
vdaniel says

ACLS completed and Passed! Thank you Jeff for this web site! I went through all the quizzes, scenarios and videos and used them as my study guide. I found this to be a much better way to learn then just reading through the AHA book.
Thank you and I’ll be looking for your site again in two years!
