How CERTIFICATE COURSES work
NPs: Earn up to 28 CE Contact Hours
With Our New UPGRADED for 2025 Certificate Course
The ECG Academy Level 1+2 Certificate Course is approved for 28 contact hours of continuing education by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Activity ID 24127002. This activity was planned in accordance with AANP Accreditation Standards and Policies.
How Does The Certificate Course Work?
By incorporating ECG Academy's unique video tutorials into an educational framework, we are now able to track each participant's progress. The Sections in the Level 1+2 (12-lead Interpretation) course each have 3-5 videos, each 5-15 minutes long, that cover a particular topic. Following the videos you'll find "Practice Questions" designed to ensure that you understand the material. At the end of each section there is a short quiz to reinforce the information and to measure your proficiency. There is also a collection of "Essential ChalkTalks" at the end of each level, to help you practice analyzing unknown tracings. There is a major exam at the end of Level 1 (rhythm strips) and a final exam at the end of Level 2. Completion of the entire program qualifies the participant to receive a "Certificate of Completion" that is approved by AANP for up to 28 CE contact hours.
NPs can choose to only complete Level 1, and can earn 16 CE Contact Hours. This may be appropriate for NPs who only need to read complex rhythm strips on a telemetry unit. Those who complete Level 1 can upgrade and add the Level 2 (12-lead) course at a later date. We have even added additional topics as of 2024, including "Pediatric Considerations in ECGs," "Diagnosing Acute MI in Patients with LBBB," and "Brugada Syndrome."
You'll also receive access to ECG Academy's weekly ChalkTalks, which are invaluable to help you tackle more difficult tracings.

Please note: It generally takes up to 24 hours to get you enrolled and send you instructions via email.

"Dr Nick, you are an ECG gangster!! I love the videos. You explain things so well. I love cardiac stuff already (I work in ER currently), but this course took me to another level of understanding. "

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, but you DON'T need accredited CE/CMEs, choose a HYBRID 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 Advanced membership plan
- If you already know how to read ECGs but want to delve deeper into the nuances of arrhythmias and electrophysiology, choose the Expert 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 Expert membership for additional insight
