Can I become a CPR, ACLS, or PALS instructor through SIEMT?
Yes. SIEMT offers instructor-level programs as well as instructor recertification courses. Instructor candidates may need to complete additional requirements, including being monitored while teaching a course, before an instructor card is issued.
Does SIEMT offer American Heart Association courses?
Yes. SIEMT is an authorized American Heart Association Training Center and offers courses including CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, instructor programs, and recertification courses.
What’s the difference between a full BLS class and a skills verification session?
A full BLS course includes the required instruction and hands-on training. For certain skills verification courses, students complete the designated American Heart Association online course first and then attend SIEMT for the hands-on skills portion.
Do I need a current certification to take an ACLS or PALS recertification course?
Yes. Recertification courses may require current provider credentials. For example, SIEMT lists a current PALS provider card and CPR healthcare provider card as requirements for PALS recertification. Requirements vary by course, so review the individual course description before registering.
