  Pret, I attended Beth Israel Boston's ATLS class (Audit).  2 days, the book was covered. As a trade off the course instructors had me help out with becoming a (moulage) victim.  Quite possibly, one of the best classes I have attended after becoming a paramedic.
  The classroom was filled to capacity, from recerts to new attendee's.  My belief was that the price was somewhere about 550 dollars.
