FAQ
Why is it that other programs giving the same certification are longer than your course?
We provide a very helpful study guide and an excellent online course and require students to spend 10-20 hours online preparing before coming into our facility for skills practice, review, and the national exam. Upon enrollment, you will receive access to the online study account, which includes a study guide, reference material, videos, practice quizzes, and practice tests. See below for more details.
How do you have the highest national exam pass rate if your course is shorter than the same course I’ve seen on other company websites?
Students are required to engage in preparatory activities before the class begins. Upon enrollment, you will be granted access to an online study account comprising a comprehensive study guide, proprietary reference materials we have created and refined over the years, instructional videos, practice quizzes, a glossary, and tests. These resources are designed to facilitate your preparation and ensure a thorough understanding of the course material.
We are committed to providing thorough preparatory resources, including exclusive study materials unavailable elsewhere, setting us apart from other training centers. Combined with our instructor’s extensive experience of 30+ years and very effective and unique teaching methodologies, this contributes to our unparalleled pass rates, distinguishing us as the training center with the highest pass rate nationwide. However, this accelerated course demands equal dedication and effort from every student to guarantee success in the certification exam.
I don’t have a medical background. Have you had students with the no clinical knowledge or experience who succeeded in the program?
The program is designed for those without any medical background. We’ve had students from a wide variety of backgrounds pass the exam, become nationally certified EKG Technicians, and succeed in their new career – such as waiters, personal trainers, hospital housekeepers, an airline pilot and a casino card dealer.
However, that said, still, this is an accelerated course that requires hard work and motivation from each student to ensure their success with the program.
