Online EKG Technician school training Certificate

Certification

The USCI EKG Technician program is offered fully online and does not include the live skills practice (experience) opportunities required to obtain certification as an EKG Technician. Most employers require certification and lack of certification will impact your employment opportunities and earnings. Students are responsible for researching certification and/or licensure requirements and for securing appropriate experience opportunities.

EKG Technician graduates may sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) Certified EKG Technician (CET) exam via the NHA’s Pre-Externship Route; however, graduates will need hands-on experience completing a minimum of 10 EKGs on live individuals, following completion of the program, to receive certification. This experience is not included in the program. Graduates must complete this experience within 90 days of passing the CET exam and are responsible for securing their own experience site. Students must contact local clinics, hospitals or doctor’s offices to seek out live experience opportunities.

NHA publishes application and eligibility criteria for the CET exam, students are encouraged to review this information in detail.

Included with our course, we cover the cost of your CET certification exam fees – a $200 value!†
