Can anyone please tell me where I can take an EKG course so I can get certified?
Specifically in the San Diego area.
Thank you in advance.

I have the same question. I've looked online but haven't found anything. Couple of them are for ECG technicians. I've read that some hospitals may offer it. Haven't tried calling, but that may be a possibility: to call hospitals to see if they have an ECG class?

add on: at flexed.com, you need to look under the title: dysrhythmia interp. & therapeutic modalities for the class i'm referring to.
There is also this place http://www.hprovider.com/index.php?module=courses&id=3dd6f836bd75c8b8cd1106601626ecdd but it looks like their campus is in Garden Grove...haven't looked to see if other locations available. :redpinkhe

Has anyone attended a seminar conducted by Pesi Healthcare? http://www.pesihealthcare.com/ They have an ecg seminar in October. It is $179. It is a one day course. I am thinking about taking it.

Try bostonreed.com I believe they offer the course and it's for like $300. I'm unsure if they offer it in San Diego, but they do offer it in Southern California.

OK, took the three day class and...parking in LA was $15.oo/day the last day.But at least the conditioning was on. Saturday & Sunday no AC and windows in old downtown LA building didnt open. The class was taught by an Iraqi MD not licensed in the US. Pleasant personality BUT... He seemed to think passing or throwing white board markers were valuable teaching adjuncts. The pace was too fast for me...I think I'll retake class through an Adult Ed center so I have time to absorb the materials better over a longer period of time. If you know about cardiology via an RN, EMT, or time in the ICU/CCU great! It may be the right class 4 U. Personally I wasted $200.
O2BSN2B - thanks for the info. Sorry it didn't work out for you
Dark40 - I think that might be the class I am looking for because ideally I would like something more than a one day seminar. But that price tag is too much for me I will definitely look into when I can afford it though. Thanks for the info.
NurseCubanita - I can't seem to find information regarding an ecg seminar on their website.
