Online ACLS certification- opinions?

I think it's probably a good resource if you actually check out the credentials of the company you are taking the online course with. There are a couple that have been a round for a long time. There is a new one that popped up by the name of ACLS Recertification Services that is actually some college kid's school project! Not sure if that is the route to take but it seems like with the right company, it suits the need.

I saw that one, too. This is the site of the student who put the site up Michael Nulty. Is this company actually accredited by anyone?

NO! It is NOT accredited by the American Heart Association. If you go to the site & click to view a copy of the card you will receive, it is NOT an AHA ACLS card.

I did Online ACLS and PALS Courses which had no skills check
