Become a Certified EKG Technician in 4 Weeks
Our accelerated timeline takes you from classroom to clinic fast. You will master 3, 5, and 12-lead EKGs, heart rhythms, Holter monitoring, and patient prep, performing live EKGs on real equipment in structured, hands-on lab sessions, all inside one hybrid program. Wondering if it is worth it? See why being an EKG technician is a good career.
How the Hybrid Program Works
Our EKG Technician program is hybrid: the flexibility of learning online plus the hands-on training of in-person labs. You join live Zoom classes, train in person at our Orlando campus, and work through self-paced coursework on your own time. A typical week blends about 2 days of live online classes, 2 days of in-person training, and 1 self-paced day, though schedules may vary. Choose the 4-week weekday or the 9-week Saturday track. On the Saturday track, classes run live on Zoom with in-person training on campus every third Saturday.
Live Online (Zoom)
Join certified instructors in real time from home for lectures and guided learning, typically a couple of days each week, always at your same class schedule time.
Hands-On In Person
Practice the hands-on skills employers test for - lead placement, running 12-lead EKGs, and patient prep - in person on campus in Orlando, completing the live EKGs the NHA CET exam requires before you graduate.
Self-Paced Online
Work through online coursework on your own schedule, generally about one day a week, so the program flexes around your life.
Schedules stay flexible and may change. The day-split above is typical, not guaranteed.
What You'll Learn as an EKG Technician
You'll gain the exact skills employers test for: lead placement, running and reading EKG strips, recognizing arrhythmias, and calm, confident patient care. Built around real-world scenarios, the curriculum mirrors what EKG technicians, monitor technicians, and telemetry technicians do every day in hospitals, cardiology offices, and diagnostic centers.
Patient Prep & Care
Put patients at ease, explain the procedure, and position leads correctly for a clean, accurate reading.
EKGs & Heart Rhythms
Perform 3, 5, and 12-lead EKGs, determine heart rate and rhythm, and recognize arrhythmias of sinus, atrial, and ventricular origin.
Monitoring & Equipment
Work with Holter monitors, pacemaker therapy, and continuous cardiac monitoring, and keep EKG equipment calibrated and ready.
Class Schedules
Choose the schedule that fits your life. Your hybrid week runs live within these time blocks - both the online Zoom sessions and the in-person hands-on training happen during your chosen schedule, so you attend live, on campus or on Zoom. Availability varies by track.
