I am signed up to take the ACLS Heartcode testing. Anyone have any experience with this type of certification? It can take up to 32 hours to complete. I am hoping with some brush up studying, I will get through it in 8.
Anyone care to share any experiences with this type of recertification?

Haven't taken it, but I have a lot of literature and spent quite a bit of time talking to the Laerdal rep at last fall's ACEP conference. I am considering purchasing it for my company. I'd love to hear your opinion of and experiences with it when you're finished. :)

I've taken ACLS, but this sounds like something a little different. I took ACLS last Spring. A few months ago there was a thread about ACLS and experiences varied from state to state, even area to area. These websites might help if it's some form of the ACLS I took:

It is a computerized method of testing. I hope it goes quick and painlessly.
