You can use the Class Connector at the American Heart Association's website to find ACLS classes by zip code.

If someone reliable can veryfy your hands on skills, you can take ACLS and PALS online at "www.aclsonline.us/"]ACLS Certification, Recertification & PALS Recertification." which worked fine with me. As more continuing education and mandatory inservices are online, it seems like a natural evolution. However some employers may have reservations.

Have you tried calling the hospitals in your area or even out of your area....depending how far you want to drive?
I live in Canada and to take ACLS it costs me $400 out of pocket. I call my Education Office at my old hospital in the States and they tell me, "Sure, you can take it here" and the cost is only $80. Combine a visit with the kids/grandkids and it is cheaper for me.
