Preparation is essential to get the best outcomes from your APLS course.
Completing the APLS online learning is mandatory before attending a face-to-face course. A strong understanding of this content will be assumed during scenarios, workshops and skill stations, which aim to build on knowledge already gained from the APLS manual and online learning.
You will be able to access the pre-course online learning immediately after booking your place on a course. Completing the package takes around 8-10 hours.
All candidates will also receive a manual 6-8 weeks before their course and APLS recommends at least 8 hours reading time, as the manual contains close to 400 pages.
Though places are sometimes still available up to the day before a course, we strongly advise against booking with less than a month until a course due to the intensive preparation demands.
The three day course is intensive with full days and a social dinner and most candidates find it impossible to catch up with reading during the course. So please allow plenty of time to prepare in advance and ensure you have read and understood the online learning and manual in full.
