Frequently Asked Questions

AffordableACLS.com was founded by ER doctors. They’re focused on making the process of obtaining ACLS, PALS, and BLS certification simpler for medical professionals. Since they’re doctors who understand the importance of maximizing the time they have available to spend with their patients, they’ve developed a process that’s quick, convenient, and affordable.
Why is the price of your courses less than most?​

We have all taken ACLS, PALS, and BLS multiple times, and feel there is no reason for the inflated costs. Our courses are very well planned and streamlined so that we can keep the costs reasonable.

How long does it take to complete the courses?

Most students will finish everything within 1-2 hours (including the study materials).

How quickly do I receive my certification card?

Your card is available immediately upon successful completion of our courses. You will be able to download/print immediately. We also offer the functionality to be able to post to your social media profile.

Can I complete the courses on a tablet or phone?

Yes. Our platform is compatible with tablets, smartphones, and of course, your PC.

Is your course American Heart Association (AHA) approved?

There is no online course that is sanctioned by the AHA. Our course is authored by a group of Board Certified Emergency medicine physicians who were  ACLS/PALS instructors and is based on AHA and ILCOR guidelines. This assures compliance with JCAHO (Joint Commission) standards. The course will be accepted by the vast majority of hospitals and health care institutions. If your employer requires an AHA live course, please refer to the AHA website.

What if your courses are not accepted at the hospital or health facility where I work?

Money Back Guarantee minus 5 dollar credit card processing fee. We do ask that you email us the phone number/contact name at your institution so that we can call and try to get your certification accepted. If we are unable to do so, we will refund your money. All we ask is that you do this within 30 days of purchasing our course. Please also see Refund Policy on the bottom of our home page.

What if I do not pass a course?

Our courses include unlimited retakes at no extra charge if you need them.

Are the courses timed?

No, there is not a time limit. You are also able to save progress and complete at a later time if you are unable to finish in one setting.

How Is AffordableACLS.com different from other online courses?

In addition to being the best priced courses online, our material is written by Board Certified Emergency Physicians who currently practice. They have also been  ACLS / PALS / BLS instructors.

Is your website secure? Does it protect my personal information?

Our site includes SSL encryption, which protects your personal data.

What if I need assistance with ordering, my certification card, or any other customer service issues?

You can email, text, or call us at any time. Usually we will return the email the same day, or at least within 24 hours.
