How Do I Complete the Skills Evaluation?Updated a year ago
Once you select "Yes" during the CME Registration module of your course, you will be enrolled in the skills "course" and will also receive an email with the link to your course. You can find this skills component, after completing the initial course, by signing into your account and clicking Start on your skills course. Scroll down and click "Start Course" and you will be taken through each step of the process in the Learner Instructions module.

We have two methods that a skills evaluation can be completed: Self-Guided and Validated (by our Support Team).
Self-guided Skills Evaluation:
This method is the quickest and most direct option for a learner to meet employer skills check requirements. With this option, a learner can do so without the need to circle back with the ACLS.com Support Team.
How it Works:
Download the Hands-On Skills check form within the course on the Download Form page.
Independently meet with an evaluator to successfully complete the Hands-on skills check.
- Present the completed, signed Hands-on Skills Check form, along with your current provider card, to your employer for validation.
Validated Skills Evaluation (by our team):
The Validated Hands-On Skills Check option is offered to learners in situations where employers require a single provider card that indicates the completion of a skills check. With this option, some additional time and steps are needed for an ACLS.com instructor to review and validate an independently completed skills check.
How it Works:
Download the Hands-On Skills Check form within the course on the Download Form page.
Independently meet with an evaluator to successfully complete the Hands-On Skills Check.
Upload the completed, signed Hands-On Skills check form.
An ACLS.com Support Advisor will review the form and verify both the skills check requirements and your evaluators' status and participation.
When verified by our team, you will receive a new provider card that indicates you have completed both didactic and psychomotor skills evaluation.
Present your updated provider card to your employer.
Once the skills form has been completed, return to your course and navigate to the Upload Hands-On Skills Check page. Click the orange Start Assignment button at the top of this page.
Scroll down to access the File Upload area, click Upload File, and click Submit Assignment. Select your completed skills form on your device and click Next.
CLICK HERE for instructions (with screenshots) on uploading your skills form.
Once you have submitted the form, we will send you a confirmation email, and our team will review and verify your form for both successful completion and to confirm your evaluator’s status and participation. We also suggest informing your evaluator to expect an email from us. When we reach out to them as part of our verification, a quick response will help expedite the process. A typical turnaround time is three to five business days.
After we have verified and approved your submission, this step will be graded as “pass” in the course, and the course will be marked complete. At that time, we will also email you instructions for downloading your updated provider card that indicates you have completed both didactic and psychomotor skills evaluations.
*Please note that ACLS.com does not provide in-person or virtual hands-on skills check services. The skills evaluation course, including all forms, instructions, and verification steps, is only meant to assist you with the process. To complete this step, you must find a qualified instructor to conduct the evaluation. We recommend sharing the evaluator instructions from your skills course with your instructor for a seamless process.
