For users who recently took the BLS (or PALS/ACLS) course and need to retrieve their e-certificate/certificate, the easiest way to find it is below:
- Go to a UCSF RQI skills cart, select your desired course, and log in with Duo. A window will open that says “You have completed the course”.
- When the course page loads, select “launch” in the upper right corner to launch (not re-start) your completed course.
- Click the button that says “email certificate” to enter your email address. Make sure your email address is correct before saving it.
- You can also complete the course evaluation (and request CE credit for ACLS/PALS) there.
