The EKG/ECG Technician program prepares any individual, with or without prior knowledge, to perform electrocardiogram tests (EKGs, ECG, holster monitoring, and stress tests) in order to record and monitor electrical impulses transmitted by the heart, thus assisting a physician in diagnosing and treating cardiac and blood vessel irregularities.

The EKG/ECG Technician program is one of the four (4) components/modules necessary for completion of the Patient Care Technician program. It is also offered as a singular program allowing education, training, and certification as an EKG/ECG Technician only.

Upon completion of the module, however, the graduate is eligible for employment as an EKG/ECG Technician in area hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Please, note that Care Training Center, LLC does encourage its EKG/ECG students to complete CPR/BLS training, as a safety precaution when working with cardiac patients and as a part of state requirements.
