MedCEU online telemetry certification valid?

1. I've been looking for an online telemetry course to help strengthen my resume for ED positions. I found one through MedCEU that states it's a telemetry certification, but the details are nonspecific. It's $30 for 30 contact hours, and the tele class is 8 credits. That seems a little cheap for a certification, doesn't it? I can't find any information as to whether it's an official certification or just counts as contact hours, even though it says the class name is "Telemetry Certification." I don't mind spending the $30, but I don't want to waste my money if it won't hold up when I go to interview for a job. Does anyone have info, or know of a valid online certification course for tele?? Thanks in advance.

   Have you looked at any of the online rhythm courses from the American Heart Association?

   don't do anything with MEDCEU, google complaints against them. They are a rip off, they claim to be approved by BON's of all the states but they are not approved at any. Just stay away from them. I got a an autodeduction from my bank account last year and I've not used them since 2005, just random deduction and I still haven't got my money refunded. Filed a complaint with BBB and forgot about my 29.99. Stay away from them.

   Thank you LCK. Something just didn't feel right. I ended up going through the AHA.
