UK’s Resuscitation Council e-ALS course blends a day of e-learning with a day of face-to-face practical learning.

During the course, you will develop the knowledge and skills required to:

  • Recognize and manage the deteriorating patient using a structured ABCDE approach;
  • Deliver standardized CPR in adults;
  • Manage a cardiac arrest by working with a multidisciplinary team in an emergency situation;
  • Become an effective and confident team member and leader by utilizing non-technical skills.

Throughout the course, you will be silently assessed on

  • Your airway management skills
  • Your ability to give high-quality CPR
  • Your ability to perform safe defibrillation

These things must first be satisfactory to the instructors before you’ll be allowed to proceed to the post-course MCQ and CASTest. You will run through many scenarios and simulations throughout your course that will help you to prepare for your exam, but you can always get an idea from the ResusUK Cardiac Arrest Management Demo.
