AVLS is a blended, two-day certification program that builds from essential ventilator foundations to prepare clinicians to assess, troubleshoot, and manage complex mechanically ventilated patients across emergency, critical-care, and transport settings.
Required online BVLS Foundations pre-coursework
Establishes a shared understanding of respiratory physiology, gas exchange, ventilator settings, modes, alarms, waveforms, and lung-protective ventilation before the live program.
Two days of live, hands-on, highly interactive training
Brief, focused instruction paired with frequent application—not lecture-heavy education.
Case-based scenarios that strengthen clinical reasoning, team communication, troubleshooting, and decision-making.
Advanced application of ventilation strategies for obstructive and restrictive disease, acute respiratory failure, ARDS, pulmonary edema, shock, trauma, and other high-acuity presentations.
Waveform interpretation, patient–ventilator dyssynchrony, PEEP and oxygenation strategies, noninvasive ventilation, alarms, and ventilator troubleshooting.
Training tailored to your organization’s ventilators, clinical environment, protocols, and patient population.
24 Continuing education credits
Up to 16 hours of live continuing education, plus 8 hours of online pre-course learning.
Three-year AVLS credential
Upon successful completion of the online pre-coursework, live workshop, and required assessments, participants receive an Advanced Ventilator Life Support certification valid for three years.
