🚀 COURSE CONTENT
Our ECG Interpretation course gives you the practical knowledge and confidence to understand and perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) — a vital tool for identifying heart conditions.
You’ll explore how ECGs work, what they measure, and how to interpret basic rhythms and waveforms. Then you’ll get hands-on with real equipment and practise performing ECGs on your classmates.
Topics include:
⚡ What an ECG is and how it works
🫀 Understanding what each waveform means
🎯 How to correctly place pads for 4-point and 10-point readings
📉 Spotting basic abnormalities in rhythm and rate
🧑⚕️ Performing an ECG on a live volunteer
This course makes a perfect companion to our Basic Obs training and adds valuable diagnostic skills to your toolkit.
👩⚕️ WHO IS IT FOR?
Ideal for healthcare professionals looking to expand their scope of practice. We’ve trained:
🩸 Phlebotomists looking to upskill
💼 Independent practitioners running their own clinics
🏥 Clinical support staff working without direct supervision
📈 Anyone aiming to contribute more meaningfully to patient assessments
This course is especially helpful if you’re looking to offer more holistic patient monitoring in your service.
🛠 EQUIPMENT
You’ll learn on the same devices used by front-line emergency services, giving you a real-world understanding of how to use them.
⚡ Lifepak ECG machines (as used by paramedics)
🎯 ECG placement guides and diagrams
🧑⚕️ Real volunteers for practical ECG practice
