About the Program
Prepare for Certification
There are several EKG technician national certification exams that are available to students. The National Healthcareer Association (NHA) requires 10 EKGs on live individuals prior to challenging their Certified EKG Technician (CET) exam.
This program does not offer an externship, our partners at Condensed Curriculum International/Health Ed Today may be able to assist you in locating a facility in your area that can supervise the EKGs required for certification. You can request a placement from them once you complete the online course. Placements are not guaranteed.
National and State Certification
While this course qualifies students for the national certification exams, if you live or plan to work outside of California, it is your responsibility to confirm that this program meets the certification requirements for your state.
The EKG Technician Profession
EKG technicians are in demand. EKG technicians work in physician's offices, hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities and organizations.

Similar to other growing healthcare professions, the demand for EKG technicians is expected to continue to grow substantially.
