CPR RECERTIFICATION COURSES
The online recertification courses in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) are made available for veterinary professionals that have taken the original online veterinary CPR courses based on the evidence-based RECOVER CPR guideline. The certificates that were granted are valid for a 2-year period, at which point the veterinary professionals are required to complete the recertification courses in order to renew their certification status.
The online recertification courses are also used as requirements to maintain one’s status as a RECOVER Ceritifed Rescuer or RECOVER Certified Instructor.
Who Should Take This Course?
- Veterinary professionals who have taken the online BLS and/or ALS course within the last 2 years.
There are two ways in which recertification courses can be accessed through this page:
- Legacy Online Course Completions: Individuals that have taken the BLS or ALS online courses through sources outside of the RECOVER website. These sources may be ones such as Veritas, eCornell, and others that have licensed the courses with Cornell University.
- RECOVER Online Course Completions: Individuals that have taken the BLS and/or ALS course(s) through the RECOVER website and has 2 years elapsed since completion.
To keep your online status current, it’s essential to enroll in recertification courses prior to the expiration of your current courses. There is no grace period. You will receive notices from ACVECC Learning regarding your course expiration. In addition, we recommend putting your course enrollment and completion information on your calendar to ensure that you do not miss your recertification enrollment window. If you miss the window, you will not be able to enroll in recertification and will need to repeat the original courses.
If you believe you are in one of the two categories above but have not received a recertification notification email or the recertification course access buttons are not displaying, please contact learning@acvecc.org for assistance.
