Build the Skills That Save Lives.

Advanced Life Support isn't just a checkbox - it's the foundation of safe, effective critical care. This intensive two-day program gives you the knowledge, hands-on practice, and formal certification you need to step confidently into high-pressure resuscitation events and lead your team through it.

Developed in line with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) statements and ANZCOR guidelines, this course combines theoretical lectures, clinical skill stations, and high-fidelity simulation scenarios - delivering certification in both Basic Life Support and Adult Advanced Life Support.

Suitable for healthcare professionals working in acute and critical care environments who are required to respond to deteriorating or critically unwell adult patients.
