To offer the highest quality instruction in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) to the community. It is our goal to provide a stress-free and efficient approach to learning. Students will be involved in an interactive and innovative program, culminating in AHA level of competence to intercede in a life saving resuscitation.   History: American Cardiac Education Specialists (ACES) was formed in 2007 when a team of health care professionals (physicians, nurses, and technicians) recognized the need for a contemporary and flexible educational program (American Heart Association approved) to obtain certification (& recertification) in BLS and ACLS. This company (ACES) offers prospective students a flexible choice of learning involving 2 pathways: (1) E-Learning using an interactive AHA computer based platform (with on-site skills testing at an AHA certified training site/center) or (2) a live private tutor in the context of a small classroom environment. Collectively, our instructors have over 200 years of health care experience.   Teaching Staff:   Chief Medical Officer Dr. James Rhee Earned his M.D. at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.
