Three training levels for your current staff.
Direct placement plans if you’re looking for new hires.
We have the solution you need.
We can flexibly train your staff to competency in cardiac medical device troubleshooting. Additionally, by pre-training a staff member and placing them in your clinic, we offer an immediate solution to your staffing shortage. Offering multiple solutions that build on each other, we can meet your every need. Each solution comes with permanent access to our content, and mentorship access throughout the duration of our time together.
Basic Pacing Certification - $9,990
Josh Meyer, the student in this video, was working at Wal-Mart three weeks prior to the recording. When we say zero knowledge of cardiac devices, we mean it. Your staff will learn.
Our basic offering can take an employee from knowing nothing about cardiac devices to understanding the basic aspects of care. Graduates will be able to perform a basic device check, as well as conduct a basic troubleshooting scenario.
This process takes approximately 10-weeks, and we will be with you every step of the way!
Advanced Pacing Certification - $9,990
This lead dislodgement case study is one of many that the students will learn to identify during the Advanced Pacing Certification program.
The advanced pacing certification builds on the concepts the students learn in the Basic program. Designed for an employee who is ready to be self-sufficient, this certification will ensure they can go through the troubleshooting steps required for these complex devices. Graduates will be able to perform a complex device check, including leadless pacing (such as Micra AV) and Conduction System Pacing.
Testing out of the Basic Pacing Certification is not required but recommended to ensure basic competency. This program takes approximately 10-weeks.
CCDS Exam Preparation Certification - $490
The CCDS exam is an official certification from the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners and represents a substantial milestone to anyone who passes.
The IBHRE exam is the Mount Everest of cardiac device tests and is an officially recognized certification. This course is 6-weeks long and prepares students for the exam. The course is modeled after IBHRE’s own study program, and our mentor will make sure your students are able to learn the concepts being covered.
Graduates are not guaranteed a passing score on the exam
