How CERTIFICATE COURSES work
Earn CE Contact Hours
by Watching Videos
Professionals have to fulfill requirements for continuing education in order to maintain licensing. ECG Academy can provide approved CE contact hours to nurses, Nurse Practitioners and now physician assistants! Even physicians may be able to claim CME credits. The ECG Academy offers a Modular, Self-Paced, Graded ECG Certificate Program!
How Do The Certificate Courses Work?
By incorporating ECG Academy's unique video tutorials into an educational framework, we are able to track each participant's progress. The Sections in the Level 1 (Advanced Rhythm Strip Analysis) and Level 2 (12-lead Interpretation) courses each have 3-5 videos, each 5-15 minutes long, that cover a particular topic. At the end of each section there is a short quiz to reinforce the information and to measure your proficiency. There is a newly-added section with a collection of "Essential ChalkTalks" at the end of each level, to help you practice analyzing unknown tracings. At the end of the each Level there is a final exam. Completion of the program qualifies the participant to receive a "Certificate of Completion," with NP, nursing, or PA CME/CEU contact hours and physician Category 2 CME equivalents.
Why Not Just Watch The Video Tutorials?
The ECG Academy video subscription service was originally offered as a "do-it-yourself" educational experience... those motivated to watch the video tutorials will gain tremendous insight and skill. But if you want credit for the time and effort you have put into becoming an ECG Expert, the Certificate Course can give you that. Once you've completed the Course, you can continue to watch the videos to maintain your understanding of the material or subscribe to the weekly ChalkTalks to sharpen your skills at reading more difficult tracings.

Which Plan To Choose?
- If you need CE Contact Hours or a "Certificate of Completion," choose a Certificate Course
- If you want the challenge and feedback of quizzes and a final exam along the way, choose a Certificate Course
- If you don't need a "formal" course but just want to learn to read ECGs by watching videos, choose a monthly membership (or save money with an annual membership plan)
- If you just need to know cardiac rhythm strips and arrhythmias, choose Level 1 course or the Basic membership plan
- If you need to be able to read 12-lead ECGs, choose a Level 1+2 course or the Intermediate membership plan
- If you already know how to read ECGs but want to delve deeper into the nuances of arrhythmias and electrophysiology, choose the Advanced membership plan
- If you already know how to read ECGs but need practice dealing with complex or "tricky" tracings, choose the "ChalkTalks Only" plan. You can always upgrade to the Advanced plan for additional insight
