Course Cours e Objectives Objectiv es and and Compete Comp etenci ncies es Introduction
This manual is to be used by the ACLS Regional Faculty and Training Center (TC) Faculty in conducting conducting the ACLS Instructor Course. The ACLS Instructor Course is classroom based and open to instructor candidates who have met the admission criteria.
Course Goal
The American Heart Association designed the ACLS Instructor Course to prepare individuals to become instructors in advanced cardiovascular life support.
Objectives
By the end of the ACLS Instructor Course, instructor candidates will be able to teach an ACLS course using the video and lesson maps in the ACLS course instructor materials. Candidates will also be able to use the new testing materials to conduct skills testing.
Exit Criteria
For successful completion of the ACLS Instructor Course, the instructor candidate must attend the entire course • instruct a group on the team concept • successfully evaluate another student running a Megacode while correctly using the skills testing checklist • successfully remediate another student •
The TC Faculty will use the American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care Instructor Competency Checklist found at the end of this manual. This checklist serves as a guide for assessing an instructor candidate’s proficiency in the AHA Core Course competencies during the practice session in the discipline-specific course. Not all competencies can be assessed in a single instructor candidate demonstration.
Course Audience and Prerequisites Who Can Take the Course
Anyone who wants to become an AHA ACLS instructor instructor can take this course. course. The ideal candidate will be motivated to teach • facilitate learning • ensure e nsure that students acquire the skills necessary for successful course completion •
view student assessment as a way to improve individual knowledge and skills

Course Prerequisites
Prospective instructors must have completed the AHA Core Instructor Course • be aligned alig ned with an AHA TC • have current AHA ACLS provider status •
Educational Design Lesson-Based and VideoBased Structure
The ACLS Instructor Course is instructor led and video based. The course is divided into multiple lessons.
Resuscitation Team Concept
Successful resuscitations are the result not only of medical expertise and an d mastery of resuscitation skills but also of effective communication and teamwork. The ACLS Instructor Course gives instructor candidates an opportunity to practice teaching the dynamics of responding to resuscitation as part of a team in simulated cases.
Facul Fa culty ty Needs Needs Who Can Teach Tea ch the Course
Any current AHA ACLS TC or Regional Faculty member may teach the ACLS Instructor Course. All instructor course faculty members must be current AHA instructors in the discipline being taught. A current physician instructor instructor must be present during every ACLS Instructor Course. If that is impossible because of extraordinary circumstances, the physician instructor should be immediately available by phone or other means of communication to answer questions.
TC Faculty Faculty -toStudent Ratio
The size of each ACLS Instructor Course is flexible, and there is currently no research-based best instructor-to-student ratio. The ACLS Instructor Course has been designed for 14 students: This will create 2 groups of 7 students each. During practice and role-playing sessions, one instructor candidate in each group will play the role of instructor and the other 6 instructor candidates will play the role of students. This mimics the suggested instructor-to-student ratio of a provider course.

Att t end anc A an c e Requ i r emen em entt s At ten dan ce Requirements
Students must successfully complete the entire course to be eligible to be monitored as a new instructor. An instructor card will be issued only after successful monitoring.
Course Planning Checklist and Timeline Notifying ECC Service Center of Pending Course
To provide better customer service, the TC should submit a list of planned instructor courses that are open to the public to the AHA Service Center. The list should include course dates, location, and name of the person to contact about registration. The Service Center will make this information available to people seeking course information.
Ordering Materials
To help with the distribution of ECC materials, the AHA has partnered with several companies that provide high-quality customer service and support. To order materials, contact one of the companies listed on the back cover of any ECC book or visit the ECC website at www.americanheart.org/cpr . Instructors can order books or support materials directly from any of the AHA distributors. Only a TC Coordinator can order cards.
Room Requirements
An average instructor course of 14 instructor candidates can be ttaught aught by 2 TC faculty members in 1 large room and 2 small rooms. The large room should comfortably hold at least 20 people. The smaller rooms must hold up to 8 students plus an instructor and the required manikins and equipment. The room should have • good acoustics • good lighting li ghting that can be dimmed or adjusted for video presentations • an instructor-controlled video player (DVD or VCR) and a monitor large enough to be viewed by all students. (Although a TV may be acceptable for small classes with only a few groups, a large-screen TV or TV projector may be required for larger classes with several manikins. See the sample floor plan on the next page.) • ideally, carpeted floors for skills practice • a chair for each student

Using L esson Maps Maps Understanding Lesson Maps
The AHA 2006 instructor materials include lesson maps to help our instructors better facilitate our courses. The lesson maps help ensure consistency from course to course and help keep the instructor focused on the main objectives for each lesson. Lesson maps are for instructor use only. Each lesson map represents the main components for that lesson: • Course identifier • Lesson number • Major topics • Icon for type of lesson • Reference to student workbook • Resources needed • Student role • Student objectives • Instructor role • Duration (in minutes) The following graphic is a sample lesson map: map:
