Our Courses
Whether you are certifying for the first time, stepping up to lead, or renewing before your certificate lapses, there is a course here for you. Every price below is what you pay. Nothing hidden.
Advanced Life Support 1
Your starting point. Recognise a patient who is deteriorating, act early, run high quality CPR, defibrillate safely and hand over clearly.
- 1 day face to face
- Current CPR skills required
- ARC provider certificate, valid 4 years
- Recognised for CPD by many colleges
Advanced Life Support 2
For clinicians expected to lead. Rhythm recognition, manual defibrillation, arrest pharmacology, reversible causes and leading a team well.
- 2 days face to face
- Current CPR skills required
- Manual sent 1 month ahead, pre course paper required
- ARC provider certificate, valid 4 years
ALS 2 Recertification
One day to refresh and certify for another four years. Your ALS 2 certificate must still be current on the day. The ARC allows no leniency.
- 1 day face to face
- Current ARC ALS 2 or RC UK ALS certificate required
- We check your certificate before you register
- Certifies you for a further 4 years
Not sure when your ALS 2 certificate runs out?
You are not alone. Most clinicians find out the week their credentialing paperwork is due, and by then it is often too late. ARC provider certificates last four years from the last day of your original course, and the ARC allows no leniency on that date.
Tell us the month you certified and we will work out where you stand. It takes a second, and nothing is saved unless you choose to contact us.
This is a guide only. You remain responsible for confirming your own eligibility, and we verify certificate status before accepting a recertification registration.
What You Will Practise
Most clinicians do not lack knowledge. They lack repetition under pressure. These days are built around doing, not listening.
The deteriorating patient
Structured ABCDE assessment and escalation, before an arrest rather than after it.
Rhythm recognition
Shockable and non shockable rhythms, and the life threatening arrhythmias in between.
Airway management
Adjuncts, supraglottic devices, ventilation and oxygenation under time pressure.
Manual defibrillation
Pad placement, energy selection, charge cycles and calling the room safe.
Arrest pharmacology
Drug, dose and timing, and the reversible cause you are treating while you give it.
Special circumstances
Asthma, anaphylaxis, pregnancy, drowning, hypothermia and toxicological arrest.
Leading the team
Closed loop communication, allocating roles, debriefing and handing over well.
Post resuscitation care
Stabilise, transfer and plan. The twenty minutes after circulation returns.
How It Works
Simple and accessible, the same way we run everything else at Intouch.

Course centre accredited by the Australian Resuscitation Council.
Intouch Healthcare is led by AHPRA registered Nurse Practitioners, and every ALS course is delivered by ARC accredited instructors. The same care we bring to patients, we bring to teaching.

- Coached, not caught outAssessment is continuous, but the day is built around feedback that makes you better on the spot.
- We can come to youOnsite delivery across southeast Queensland for hospitals, aged care, general practice, universities and workplace response teams.
- You are prepared before you arriveALS 2 candidates get the manual a month ahead, so the days are spent on skills and scenarios rather than lectures.
What People Say
Our patients already tell us the thing that matters most is being listened to. Our candidates say the same.
An excellent telehealth service that gives you timely and cost effective access to repeat scripts and specialist referrals you might otherwise wait weeks to organise. Danny is experienced, professional and respectful.
Darren M., NSW
Making an appointment was a breeze and the Nurse Practitioner truly listened. Getting a specialist referral was simple, with no hoops and no waiting weeks. Quick, smooth and stress free.
Dale G., NSW
Friendly, easy and very affordable. The calls were always on time and they went the extra mile to chase up my results. Cannot recommend Intouch Healthcare enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which course is right for me?
If you want the skills to manage a patient through the immediate crisis, start with ALS 1 at $749. If you are expected to lead a resuscitation or you work in critical care, book ALS 2 at $1,750. You do not have to do ALS 1 first, though ALS 2 assumes a higher level of knowledge and recent exposure to critical events. If you already hold a current ALS 2 certificate, the one day recertification is $799. Not sure? Send us your role and certificate history and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
My ALS 2 certificate has expired. Can I still do the one day recertification?
No, and we would rather tell you now than at the door. Eligibility requires a current ARC ALS 2 or Resuscitation Council UK ALS provider certificate, and those expire four years from the last day of your original course. The ARC allows no leniency. If yours has lapsed you will need the full two day ALS 2 course at $1,750 rather than the $799 recertification. We check certificate status before accepting a registration, so it is worth checking your expiry date early.
Is my certificate recognised outside Australia?
Yes. The ARC and the Resuscitation Council UK co badge these courses, so your certificate is cross recognised by the Resuscitation Council UK, the New Zealand Resuscitation Council and the European Resuscitation Council. Certificates from those councils are likewise recognised by the ARC. It is valid for four years.
What preparation is expected?
ALS 2 candidates receive the course manual a month before the course and complete a pre course multiple choice paper, handed in on arrival. That paper does not count towards your final assessment. Read the manual properly. The course is intensive, and the time together is best spent on skills, scenarios and leadership rather than lectures.
Will I be assessed?
Yes, and it is done supportively. Assessment is continuous and includes simulations covering airway management, initial assessment and resuscitation, and cardiac arrest scenarios. Instructors coach you through the scenarios and give you honest feedback along the way, so most candidates tell us assessment felt like part of the teaching rather than a separate hurdle.
Do I earn CPD?
The ARC advanced life support courses are recognised for continuing professional development by many colleges and organisations. Requirements vary between colleges, states and employers, so please check the current position with your own professional body. Your certificate is issued after the course and can be recorded against your registration requirements.
Do you run courses at our hospital or clinic?
Yes. Onsite delivery is available across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast for group bookings. We run the scenarios using your equipment and your escalation protocols, which is the fastest way to improve how your team responds in real life. Request a group quote and we will propose some dates.
What should I wear?
Neat casual clothing and enclosed footwear. There is hands on CPR and floor work, so dress for movement.
