Great and convenient way to recert for experienced providers. The online portion was a cool new adaptive style, and as I am experienced with ACLS and PALS from my employment, the adaptive module that shortened the lecture portions based on periodic testing was great. The skills testing site I was a little apprehensive about, not having an instructor present and only with feedback devices. But it was quite simple and straightforward! Call me old fashioned, but if you are new / inexperienced with BLS, ACLS, or PALS, an in person instructor is pretty beneficial, especially with the mega code / team dynamic aspect that you can have with an in person class. But I was surprised with the thoroughness of the online portion and definitely was pleased with the convenience aspect. UPDATE: This was my second time using this service and I still highly recommend it. My recerts were coming up soon, and I decided to rip off the bandaid and get them done. I signed up on Monday night, did the online modules Tuesday morning, and knocked out the skills portion Wednesday morning, got the e-cards via email as I walked out the door. I work in ED and critical care, so I’m always kind of wanting to rush through my ACLS/BLS/PALS courses. The adaptive learning portion is a big feature I enjoy. I can crank the proficiency level to expert, it validates my understanding with test questions, and I can move past lecture videos and slides that I demonstrated competency on. Huge time saver, but also will catch areas you might be rusty on. I feel like the lecture review stuff I did focus on was exactly what I needed to review, and wasn’t buried in a sea of information I already know. The online portion can take up to a few hours per module, IF you are going through all the material and not familiar with it enough to test out of it. But I was knocking each one out in under an hour! So if you’re bedside or in an environment where this is more review than active learning, this part will be much quicker than you’d think. The skills testing was easy, too. One thing I will say, I had to sign up for 3 different hour slots which was a pretty sizable portion of my day, but if you’re proficient with the skills, you definitely don’t need the full hour. I was able to access all of my skills testing (BLS/ACLS/PALS) and completed everything in the first hour. Couple of tips: remember your RQI login info or have it jotted down before getting there, and the door code too. It’s all provided on their emails, and the login info is the same you used to do the online modules, but makes it a little easier to get started.

Great experience! I loved the online course and the in person skills test. Also loved that it was very conveniently located. So I didn't have to go far to do the in person part.
