Course Description
The Resuscitation Australia ALS 2 course is an advanced, blended-learning program for experienced healthcare professionals managing critically ill patients. Combining interactive online modules with hands-on, simulation-based training, the course emphasizes real-world decision-making, team leadership, and adaptive clinical skills. Participants gain expertise in advanced airway management, cardiac arrest recognition, emergency drug administration, and post-resuscitation care, while developing confidence in leading resuscitation teams under pressure. Designed to go beyond standard protocols, ALS2 equips clinicians with both the practical skills and critical thinking needed to respond effectively in high-stakes clinical situations.
Learning Outcomes
Conduct a structured primary survey using the A–E approach for critically ill or deteriorating patients.
Recognise and manage complex cardiac arrests, including peri-arrest situations.
Assess and manage tachycardia and bradycardia arrhythmias, including appropriate interventions.
Perform advanced airway management, ventilation, and oxygenation techniques.
Interpret advanced ECG rhythms and arterial blood gases (ABGs) to guide clinical management.
Assess and manage life-threatening conditions such as anaphylaxis, chest pain, and sepsis.
Demonstrate effective leadership, communication, and teamwork during high-acuity resuscitation scenarios.
Apply post-resuscitation care principles to optimise patient outcomes.
Integrate evidence-based decision-making in dynamic and complex clinical situations.
Assessment Requirements
All mandatory e-Learning modules and associated assessment quizzes must be completed prior to the face-to-face training day. Each quiz contains 20 multiple-choice questions and requires a minimum score of 80%.
Participants must obtain the Certificate of Completion from the e-Learning platform before attending the practical training session.
During the face to face component, participants are continuously assessed through practical skill stations and high fidelity simulated clinical scenarios, including evaluation of non-technical skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication and situational awareness.
