EKG Technician

Program Overview

Our 48-hour Online EKG Technician Program prepares students for employment as Electrocardiograph (EKG/ECG) Technicians. As an EKG Technician, you will be responsible for performing diagnostic tests to assess heart rhythm and rate in patients. EKGs are crucial in various medical situations, including pre- and post-operation assessments, routine physical exams, and when patients experience chest pain or have a history of heart disease.
This comprehensive course includes 48 hours of hands-on classroom instruction and provides eligibility to sit for the National EKG Technician Certification Exam.

Phlebotomy Externship & Certification

Externship

The Phlebotomy Technician Program includes a built-in externship. A clinical externship is required in California to obtain state licensure.

Because of our partnership with GCC Laboratories, our locations include an on-site lab so students can quickly finish the program and externship.

Beware of phlebotomy programs that do not guarantee externships, as this can result in a delay or failure to obtain state licensure.
