Hours: 259 coursework hours, with 20 clinical hours

Ready to get certified for one of the most widely hired roles in healthcare? This program was designed to help you pass the Certified EKG Technician (CET) exam and set you up for success as part of a fast-paced cardiology team. You’ll learn how to operate the electrocardiogram—an essential piece of hospital equipment—and work with doctors to interpret the results for patients. You’ll even earn yourself 20 clinical hours of hands-on experience, so if you’re ready to jump into the action ASAP, EKG technician training is the course of action for you. Remember that clinical opportunities vary, and we work with a vast network of healthcare organizations to find a good fit. But we can’t guarantee placement—or employment—in your area.

Topics

Curriculum

Our 266-hour program is divided into 14 easy-to-finish courses and an externship experience (and it covers skills many EKG tech programs don’t, such as Holter monitoring and stress testing). Knock ‘em out and start your new job as a diagnostic dynamo.
