Exam outline and official sources
International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) · First-edition ITLS Course Manual for Emergency Care Providers outline, checked 2026-10-17. This guide uses that edition's curriculum. The workbook label International Trauma Life Support maps to ITLS Basic Provider or Advanced Provider certification, assessed through written and practical examinations appropriate to provider level; it is not a separate examination title. Ninth-edition courses remain permitted through December 31, 2026 and sunset January 1, 2027. These are course-transition dates, not examination effective dates. The public outline states neither an examination effective date nor domain percentages. The issuer's December 31, 2025 instructor-update deadline is not an examination effective date.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
