Canadian Heart Association
Save More Lives, Every Day.
Your trusted source for resuscitation education. Programs for Canadian healthcare and dental professionals — built around how care really happens.
ACLS
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support
The Canadian Heart Association’s ACLS education program provides you with the advanced knowledge needed to participate in or manage a resuscitation event effectively. The program emphasizes the importance of preventing cardiac arrest, early and continuous, high-quality CPR, and high-performing teams. The course reflects science and education from the 2026 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
Goodbye Megacode
We killed the Megacode.
For more than two decades it dominated ACLS. We replaced it with something that actually reflects how resuscitation works.
Why we're different
We're not the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
And we don't want to be. CHA is new, focused, and 100% of our profits go back into supporting healthcare professionals like you.
