Advanced Life Support Level 2
The Advanced Life Support Level 2 (ALS2) course is a high-level, intensive program designed for experienced healthcare practitioners who operate within critical care environments or serve on rapid-response medical teams.
While ALS1 focuses on early recognition and stabilisation, ALS2 shifts heavily toward team leadership, advanced clinical intervention, and crisis resource management. Developed by Resuscitation Australia, this course equips you to take definitive charge of cardiac arrests, manage complex peri-arrest rhythms, and direct high-performance resuscitation teams.
