The CET ensures that you are ready to excel as an EKG technician as you make a life-changing difference by helping diagnose and prevent heart disease. By becoming certified as an EKG technician, you prove to potential or current employers that you’re continuously improving your knowledge and skills in electrocardiography.
Earning your certification proves to employers that you are knowledgeable in all aspects of your field. Here are some key reasons why you should earn your certification:
The National Healthcareer Association (NHA) is one of the largest allied health certification providers in the nation. Since 1989, it has awarded over one million certifications and is validated and nationally recognized as providing students with the required level of knowledge to succeed in their chosen careers.
Certification candidates must be 18 years of age or older and possess a high school diploma or equivalent.
Students wishing to sit for the Certified EKG Technician exam will be required to complete a minimum of 10 EKGs on a live person. We cannot guarantee a site to complete this clinical requirement, so only students employed in a healthcare facility or those that take full responsibility for meeting their clinical requirements will be admitted to the program.
