Learn ECG interpretation from first principles. Begin with cardiac electrical activity, P waves, QRS complexes and T waves, then build a systematic approach to common rhythms, bundle branch patterns, ventricular rhythms and cardiac arrest rhythms.
This structured online course takes you from cardiac electricity and ECG recording quality through waveform recognition and a repeatable rhythm-assessment sequence.
The course includes:
• 14 teaching modules with rhythm visuals
• P waves, PR intervals, QRS complexes and T waves
• Normal sinus rhythm, sinus tachycardia and sinus bradycardia
• Atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and SVT
• LBBB, RBBB, ventricular tachycardia and polymorphic VT
• Ventricular fibrillation, fine VF and asystole
• Mandatory knowledge checks and a 30-question final assessment
• An accessible workbook and completion record
Designed for UK healthcare professionals. Completion records assessed knowledge and active study time; it does not certify clinical competence or regulator endorsement.
Developed by Ben R K Harper, an HCPC-registered advanced critical care paramedic with postgraduate qualifications in advanced clinical practice, critical care, non-medical prescribing and clinical education. The course combines operational experience with a clear, safety-conscious teaching structure.
