The AHA requires the student to achieve a score of 70% or higher on the online ACLS Pre-course Self-Assessment. The pre-test must indicate the student's full name and a passing score of 70% or greater (altered documents will NOT be accepted). If you show up to class without your printed ACLS Precourse Assesmment you will not be admitted into the class. The AHA requires each student to present a personal, printed copy, of the pre-test certificate at the time of the ACLS class; otherwise, per the AHA, the student cannot be admitted into the course.
