The 12 week EKG tech certification training program will prepare you for national certification as a Certified EKG Technician (CET) and a Certified Customer Service Professional (CCSP). EKG/ECG technicians work in healthcare facilities specializing in EKG testing for patients. These tests help detect irregularities that may result in a heart attack or heart disease. Common duties include explaining procedures to patients, monitoring blood pressure, and positioning patients. After completing our program, graduates will also know how to apply Holter monitors and assist cardiologists with stress testing.

With additional on-the-job training or experience, Certified EKG technicians may specialize in areas such as cardiac catheterization, Holter monitoring, phonocardiography, stress testing, and vectorcardiography. EKG techs must be able to recognize an emergency and assist the physician in responding to them. Anyone interested in this field should have an interest in high-tech mechanical equipment. They should also be able to sympathize with people and reassure them when they are apprehensive about the testing procedure. 

Throughout the program, students will gain knowledge of medical terminology and disease processes. They will become familiar with healthcare settings and the roles of EKG/ECG technicians in the EKG course. Students will also complete a customer service course because customer service is a priority in situations where direct care or other patient/client interaction occurs. Our courses are delivered via Remote Mentored Learning (RML) which means the course materials can be accessed from anywhere with a high-speed internet connection, and the students have access to a team of Student Success Specialists, Advisors, and Coordinators who provide ongoing support throughout the course. Our highly immersive courses utilize up to 12 unique eLearning components designed to keep students engaged, stimulated, and entertained throughout their training. Students are provided a variety of media including instructor-led video lectures, animations, demonstrations, simulations, 3D interactive training environments, games, activities, assessments, and more!

Certification Exam Eligibility*

Upon completion of this program, students wishing to sit for the Certified EKG Technician exam will be required to complete a minimum of 10 EKGs on a live person. 

Employment opportunities for electrocardiograph technicians are expected to grow faster than the average for all other occupations. The largest growth in employment will be in specialty areas such as echocardiography, vascular technology, and Holter monitoring. Technology will also help spur demand in this sector because newly trained individuals will be needed to operate the high-tech and increasingly complicated equipment. This program is ideal for an individual that is interested in an entry-level career in healthcare and is often used as the first step towards obtaining advanced certifications such as Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy, and Patient Care Technician. 

Samples of reported job titles EKG Technician, ECG Technician, Electrocardiograph Technician, Cardiac Technician, Telemetry Technician, Medical Instrument Technician, Cardiac Monitoring Technician, Cardiovascular Technician, Cardiac Stress Technician, and Holter Monitor Technician. 

*This program has a clinical requirement to perform a minimum of 10 EKGs on live individuals to sit for their certification exam.

This 28-week online dual-certification program provides training in areas including Human Anatomy, Medical Terminology, Insurance Billing and Coding Essentials, and Medical Coding. Dual certification with MCBC and CPC-A or CCS-P can increase marketability, flexibility, and opportunity in the field of medical coding and insurance reimbursement in the outpatient setting. A professional coder reviews clinical documentation and translates medical procedures, diagnosis, supplies, and services into codes that are submitted on a medical claim to payers for reimbursement. They serve a vital role in the financial well-being of their employing organization and indirectly influence patient outcomes through accurate medical coding. A professional biller utilizes the codes assigned by the medical coder to process, submit, and track medical insurance claims. An individual with both medical coding and billing knowledge and training often fulfills both roles, assigning medical codes and processing healthcare insurance claims. Professional Coders and Billers demonstrate their proficiency by earning industry-recognized certifications.

To become a fully certified Registered Behavior Technician, you must complete a 40-hour training program before you can take the RBT exam. Once you pass the exam, you'll be qualified for various behavior technician roles and will have direct contact with patients in different settings. Obtaining the RBT certification showcases your expertise in providing appropriate treatment for your patients and delivering exceptional customer service.

This training program is based on the Registered Behavior Technician Task List (2nd ed.) and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for the RBT credential. The program is offered independent of the BACB. There are additional requirements (outside of training and examination) mandated by the BACB for those on the path to earning the RBT designation. Visit www.bacb.com/rbt for more information.

Obtaining RBT certification requires that an individual complete a Competency Assessment under the supervision of a Qualified Assessor, who must hold the minimum required credentials per the BACB. This Competency Assessment must be performed while “On the Job”, therefore graduates of the MedCerts program will not immediately be eligible for certification upon completion of their program.

While MedCerts training and related target certifications may be accepted and/or approved by your state of residency, employers reserve the right to dictate prerequisite education, experience, or certification/licensure requirements for their positions. We strongly advise students to research target job posts from area employers and relevant state requirements, barriers, or restrictions prior to enrollment to ensure eligibility upon graduation.
