An Ongoing Evolution
ince the establishment of the Council of
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of the PHA in
1982, its main flagship purpose is the
continuous education and training of healthcare
professionals in the field of Resuscitation Science
specifically Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life
Support. The formal training program
methodologies gradually evolved to more
comprehensive but practical hands-on skills
training. The basic traditional facilitator-driven
training program has been strengthened by year
2000 through its Training the Trainers program.
Currently, this PHA training course has been the
primary training program for BLS and ACLS by all
cardiology Training institutions, Department of
Health agencies and hospitals, member institutions
of the Expanded Council on CPR and majority of all
allied health care professionals in the Philippines.
With the increasing demand on innovative
approaches on training, especially with the current
pandemic crisis hampering large group training, the
Council is bringing everyone its first ever BLS-ACLS
Online Training Program.
This Online Training program will be composed of
basic modules on Basic Life Support and Advanced
Life Support that will meet the basic competency
requirements on knowledge ands skills needed by
all health care providers. All modules can be
accessed through online registration through our
PHA website and are presented in self- paced
didactic instructional videos that the participants
must complete before undergoing subsequent
scheduled face to face workshops and megacode
simulation examinations by our excellent trainers.
All participants completing the didactic and
scheduled face to face examinations will be given
formal certifications as proficient BLS and ACLS
providers by the Philippine Heart Association valid
for two years.
This newly redesigned training manual speaks for
the evolution and continuous improvement of BLS
and ACLS training standards in the Philippines. All
content and concepts of resuscitation standards
based from consensus guidelines of the
International Liaison Council on Resuscitation
(ILCOR) were collated and masterfully laid out in this
manual in a more simple and practical way for better
comprehension and application.
Be Trained. Be certified by PHA.
Save A Life. Learn CPR.
