Saving lives, one class at a time.
About ACLS
Michigan Medicine American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center uses the HeartCode BLENDED learning format for New Provider/Re-Certification. This format is a personalized learning path that adapts in real time to a learner's performance and skills.
The blended format includes an online self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program, along with an in-person Hands-on Testing Session.
What does this mean for you as a learner?
- Everyone will need to register for a Hands-On testing session.
- Once MM AHA has processed your registration, you will receive an email from CSC-AHARegistration with your confirmation and directions on how to complete HeartCode.
- Do not purchase HeartCode on your own. The cost of the HeartCode is included in the cost of this course. We currently DO NOT accept HeartCode completed that where not issued by the MM Training Center.
