ONLINE ECG COURSE · UK HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS · £29
Build your ECG interpretation foundations
A self-paced course that begins with cardiac electrical activity and waveform components, then develops a repeatable approach to rhythm recognition.
Start with the trace, not the label
Learn what the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex and T wave represent. Work through rate, rhythm, atrial activity, conduction and QRS width in a consistent order.
Practise common rhythm families
Use original visual teaching aids to compare normal sinus rhythm, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, bundle branch patterns, ventricular tachycardia, polymorphic VT, VF, fine VF and asystole.
Assessment that requires progress
Every teaching module has a mandatory knowledge check. The final 30-question assessment remains locked until the learning sequence is complete.
Built for a CPD portfolio
Record your active study time and assessment result. The completion certificate supports professional reflection and portfolio evidence; it does not certify clinical competence or regulator accreditation.
What you will cover
- Cardiac electrical activity and the standard ECG view
- Waveform components, intervals and calibration
- A systematic rhythm-recognition sequence
- Common narrow and broad rhythm patterns
- Artefact, recording quality and clinical context
- Mandatory checks and a 30-question final assessment
YOUR COMPLETION EVIDENCE
Finish with a professional CPD certificate
Complete all required learning and pass the 30-question final assessment at 80% or above. You can then create and download a named certificate recording the course, completion date, assessment score and your declared active study time.
- Certificate of assessed learning
- Assessment score and completion date
- Actual active study time shown as CPD learning hours
- Clinical owner and HCPC registration details
- Printable or downloadable as a PDF
The certificate and reflection record can support NMC revalidation, GMC appraisal and HCPC CPD portfolios when the learning is relevant to your role. It records educational completion; it does not certify clinical competence or regulator endorsement.

Advanced critical care paramedic · HCPC PA052401 · Associate Fellow of Advance HE
Ben has more than ten years of clinical experience, including service as a British Army combat medic. His postgraduate education includes MSc study in Advanced Clinical Practice and Critical Care, a PGCert in Non-Medical Prescribing, and advanced modules in minor illness, injury and illness, remote clinical decision-making, clinical education and leadership.
His clinical interests include ECG interpretation, cardiac care, resuscitation and respiratory presentations. TriageTrail courses turn that operational and educational experience into structured, accessible learning for healthcare professionals.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this course for?
Healthcare assistants, emergency care assistants, ambulance clinicians, student nurses and paramedics, registered clinicians and advanced practitioners who need a structured ECG foundation.
Is it accredited by a regulator?
No. The course supplies evidence of assessed learning and study time for a CPD portfolio. It does not claim NMC, GMC or HCPC endorsement.
Does it teach emergency treatment algorithms?
No. It focuses on structured waveform and rhythm recognition. Real patients must be assessed and managed through current local emergency pathways.
