The ACS Stop the Bleed Course can be presented virtually. Instructors may present the lecture through a virtual meeting platform utilizing the current presentation. You can elect to use the prerecorded version linked below; however, an instructor must be present through the entire virtual training. Instructors are not allowed to record or host the session on an organization's website, YouTube, or an LMS.
As a reminder, participants must complete both the lecture AND the skills component of the ACS Stop the Bleed Course to be considered COMPLETE and to receive a certificate of completion. Please make sure this is reflected in the Instructor Portal when you add your courses.
ACS Stop the Bleed Virtual Course – Lecture Only*
*Participation in virtual lecture training will be limited to the maximum number of participants your virtual meeting platform will host, there is not an ACS Stop the Bleed Course participant limit to the lecture portion of the virtual course. If you are doing the standard, in-person ACS Stop the Bleed Course or virtual skills training you must adhere to the 1:10 instructor-to-student ratio and reflect this in the Instructor Portal properly.
ACS Stop the Bleed Interactive Course
The ACS Stop the Bleed Program now offers students the option to fulfill the lecture requirement of the course by completing the ACS Stop the Bleed Interactive Course. This virtual course allows individuals to go through animated videos, diagrams, and quizzes. While the interactive course fulfills the lecture portion, it does not allow them to receive a certificate of completion until they complete the hands-on skills portion of the course. The interactive course will encourage participants to attend either a full ACS Stop the Bleed Course or a Skills-Only ACS Stop the Bleed Course to receive their certificate of completion. At the conclusion of the course, they will receive an email with their final quiz results. Participants must show the instructor this document to receive a certificate of completion after they have completed the skills-only portion of the course.
As an instructor, you now can select this as a course type and instruct students to take the interactive course prior to the skills-only portion you will teach—similar to the Virtual Lecture only option. Access the online course. Please make sure to link your course listing to the interactive course page.
As a reminder, participants must complete both the lecture/interactive course AND the skills component of the ACS Stop the Bleed Course to be considered COMPLETE and to receive a certificate of completion. Please make sure this is reflected in the Instructor Portal when you add your courses.
ACS Stop the Bleed Skills-Only Course*
At the conclusion of the virtual lecture-only course, participants will require a reminder to schedule the skills portion to complete the ACS Stop the Bleed Course requirements. As an instructor you can schedule a skills-only training session through the Instructor Portal and you should indicate if the course is public or private for maximum participation. Please review the virtual instructor skills video as a guide on how to train the skills-only portion of the course.
*Regardless of being in-person or virtual, the ACS Stop the Bleed Skills Only Course must meet the 1:10 -instructor-to-student ratio and be reflected in the Instructor Portal properly.
