Overview
The Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support (ACPLS) Instructor course is a nationally recognized program designed to prepare experienced ACPLS providers and healthcare professionals to deliver advanced life support training. Delivered in a fully virtual mode, the course focuses on instructional methodologies, adult learning principles, advanced resuscitation protocols, simulation-based teaching, and structured assessment techniques aligned with nationally accepted guidelines. Learners develop the ability to plan, conduct, and evaluate ACPLS training programs while maintaining clinical accuracy and instructional effectiveness.
Completion of the online modules leads to certification of the virtual ACPLS Instructor learning component only. To qualify for full ACPLS Instructor certification and to become part of the HSSC Instructor Community, candidates must mandatorily attend and successfully complete an instructor-led, hands-on training and assessment session conducted at the Healthcare Sector Skill Council’s Advance Technology Centre (HSSC ATC), a high-fidelity simulation laboratory. This blended approach ensures instructional competence and advanced clinical skill mastery.
