What ACLS Medical Training does

ACLS Medical Training is an online continuing education platform that issues BLS, ACLS, PALS, and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) certification and recertification credentials to licensed healthcare professionals. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, the company operates as an owned brand within the 360training.com family of training and compliance education brands. The core product portfolio consists of four primary course lines, each available as initial certification or bi-annual recertification, supplemented by six bundle packages and add-on modules covering Comprehensive First Aid and CPR-AED Essentials for healthcare providers. Courses are 100% online with no in-person skills test requirement and can be completed in one to two hours for experienced practitioners.

The platform is built on 360training's shared learning management system and e-commerce infrastructure, with proprietary elements including online megacode simulators, a practice test and exam engine (80% passing threshold, up to three attempts), and digital provider cards issued with QR-code employer verification immediately upon passage.

An Education Center provides over 20 hours of supplementary free content including provider manuals, algorithm references, rhythm recognition training, ECG interpretation, and a clinical knowledge base.

A For Business channel extends the model to mid-market healthcare employers with group enrollment.

Direct peers

• American Heart Association: The dominant provider of BLS, ACLS, and PALS certification in the US. AHA sets the de facto industry standard for life support credentials and is the primary competitor whose cards are most often mandated by hospitals and EMS systems.
• American Red Cross: Major national provider of BLS and CPR/first aid certification courses for healthcare professionals and lay rescuers. Directly competes with ACLS Medical Training in life support credentialing for clinical and non-clinical audiences.
• ProTrainings: Online provider of CPR, BLS, ACLS, and first aid certification with self-paced, video-based courses. Competes directly on the same product positioning of convenience, online access, and instant certification cards.
• ACLS Certification Institute: Online ACLS/BLS/PALS certification provider targeting the same healthcare professional segments. Competes head-to-head on course pricing, online delivery, and instant provider card issuance.
• National CPR Foundation: Online certification provider offering BLS, ACLS, PALS, and CPR courses to healthcare professionals and lay rescuers. Competes directly on price, convenience, and instant digital credential delivery.
• eMedCert: Online platform providing BLS, ACLS, PALS, and NRP certification with instant provider cards. Closely comparable in product scope, target customer (healthcare professionals), and self-serve online delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• HealthStream: Large healthcare workforce training and credentialing platform serving hospital systems. While broader in scope, it competes for institutional BLS/ACLS training contracts that ACLS Medical Training targets through its corporate channel.

Others

• CareerCert: Sibling brand within the 360training family focused on healthcare and EMS certification. Operates in the same product category and shares parent-company infrastructure, providing internal precedent for the model.

Emerging players

• MedCerts: Online provider of healthcare certification and career training programs, including allied health credentials. Overlaps with ACLS Medical Training on continuing education for working healthcare professionals but is broader in scope.
• Allied Health Media: Specialty publisher and training provider for emergency medicine and critical care professionals, including ACLS/PALS educational content. Comparable audience of clinicians but with a content/media-led rather than certification-led model.
