Basic EKG Course
Our Basic EKG course is a hands-on introduction to performing electrocardiograms in a clinical setting. You’ll learn what an EKG actually measures, how to set up and operate the machine, and how to prepare a patient for the procedure — including skin prep, positioning, and explaining the process to keep patients comfortable.
From there, you’ll practice accurate lead placement for a standard 12-lead tracing, learn to recognize common problems like artifact and loose leads, and troubleshoot them before the tracing goes out. You’ll also learn the documentation side of the job: labeling the tracing correctly, recording patient information, and getting a clean, complete report into the chart for the physician to review.
No prior medical experience is required. This course trains you to produce accurate, usable tracings — interpretation and diagnosis remain the responsibility of the physician.

Great class, very beginner friendly and my instructor was great. His name is Dane Erickson. Enjoyable and very effective, shorter class, only one week long, but still covers all the material!

Dane was an amazing teacher! He really helped me feel comfortable and competent. I took both the phlebotomy and IV class and I think that I got a lot of experience in such a short time. I would 100% recommend this class.

This was a great class to learn about phlebotomy. It was straight to the point and very clear. Dane was a great instructor who really knows what he's doing. His experience as an EMT gives him great background to teach the class and give real world scenarios of what you might face in the medical field. Overall it was a great class to take if you're interested in phlebotomy and getting your certification quickly. Highly recommend!
