Online ACLS certification

How to complete your ACLS certification in

You are able to complete your ACLS, PALS and BLS certification in with a fully in-person, or blended online course.

Welcome medical professionals

Medical professionals in Manitoba now have access to flexible, accredited Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification and recertification programs. With an estimated 2,500 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occurring annually in Manitoba and notably longer EMS response times in rural communities, the need for rapid, high-quality resuscitation skills is more critical than ever. Keeping your credentials current not only saves lives but also supports a health system under increasing strain from chronic disease and resource challenges.

Manitoba’s cardiovascular health landscape

Cardiac care challenges in Manitoba

Manitoba’s healthcare system faces unique challenges in managing cardiac emergencies. Rural communities, which may experience EMS response times exceeding 12 minutes, often struggle with timely interventions during OHCAs. Research suggests that initiating advanced interventions within six minutes of basic life support (BLS) can significantly boost survival rates, yet many areas continue to see suboptimal outcomes.

EMS response and resource constraints

• EMS performance: In urban centers like Winnipeg, rapid response systems are well established; however, in rural regions, EMS teams often encounter delays that affect overall survival outcomes.

• Public access and training: A recent survey found that only 25% of rural Manitoba schools have installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and a mere 15% provide regular CPR training for students.

• Data initiatives: Manitoba is expanding its cardiac arrest registries to track response times, treatment interventions, and survival outcomes, aiming to identify gaps and inform system-wide improvements.

Chronic disease burden

Manitoba’s aging demographic, coupled with chronic conditions, compounds the strain on cardiac care:

• Diabetes prevalence: Approximately 10% of Manitobans have diabetes, heightening the risk for cardiovascular events.
• Cholesterol and hypertension: Nearly 35–40% of adults struggle with high cholesterol or hypertension, both significant contributors to heart disease.
• Fibrillation: Estimates indicate that tens of thousands of Manitobans live with atrial fibrillation—a condition linked to a considerable percentage of strokes in individuals over 40.

Manitoba-specific training statistics and outcomes

Health system performance

• EMS response times: Rural areas continue to report extended EMS response intervals, impacting overall OHCA survival rates, which in some regions remain below 15%.
• Resource allocation: Recent data points to significant efforts in reducing surgical and emergency intervention backlogs, yet resource constraints persist in remote settings.

Educational attainment and certification trends

• ACLS certification rates: Approximately 75–78% of Manitoba nurses and paramedics maintain current ACLS credentials, according to recent workforce assessments.
• Training gaps: Approximately 75–78% of Manitoba nurses and paramedics maintain current ACLS credentials, according to recent workforce assessments.
