Can contact hours be awarded to participants of ACLS, PALS, BLS, and BLS Instructor courses?
A. For the BLS Instructor course, contact hours can be awarded for the teaching modality content only of the classroom based BLS Instructor course. Note that this does not include the BLS content portion of the course. In addition, accredited providers and approved providers cannot award ANCC contact hours for the course offered online or on CD-ROM by AHA as these formats preclude the involvement of the accredited/approved continuing education unit in the planning or implementation of the activity.
