Cardiac Device & Rhythm Management Diploma: Pacemaker, ICD & CRT β Basic to Advanced
About Course
π« Cardiac Device & Rhythm Management Diploma: Pacemaker, ICD & CRT
Learn how cardiac devices work and how rhythm problems are managed. This single diploma combines Level 1 and Level 2, taking you from heart anatomy and basic pacemaker knowledge to programming, troubleshooting and CRT.
π How the Course Is Organised
The curriculum is arranged in clearly labelled sections:
- β Basic: heart anatomy and electrophysiology, pacemaker and ICD fundamentals, and clinical device management including ILR and patient assessment.
- β Advanced: pacemaker programming and troubleshooting, temporary pacing, conduction disorders, CRT, advanced device implantation, sick sinus syndrome, AV conduction disorders, ICD therapy, His bundle pacing and Holter monitoring.
- β Wellbeing & Clinical Cases: cardiomyopathies, Holter monitoring and clinical wellbeing.
- β Self-Assessment: an interactive ECG challenge to test your arrhythmia skills.
π« Basic: Anatomy, Pacing and ICD Foundations
Begin with the electrical anatomy of the heart and the logic of pacing. Learn how pacemakers and ICDs are built and used, and how implantable loop recorders and clinical assessment fit into everyday device care.
β‘ Advanced: Programming, Troubleshooting and CRT
Move into programming choices, troubleshooting, temporary pacing and conduction disorders. Explore cardiac resynchronisation therapy, advanced implantation topics, ICD therapy, His bundle pacing and long-term rhythm monitoring.
π Cases and Self-Assessment
Close with clinical cases, cardiomyopathy and Holter topics, and an interactive ECG challenge so you can test how well you recognise arrhythmias.
π― What You Will Learn
- β Explain how pacemakers, ICDs and CRT systems work.
- β Describe basic programming concepts.
- β Recognise common pacing problems and think through troubleshooting.
- β Understand conduction disorders and sick sinus syndrome.
- β Appreciate the role of Holter monitors and loop recorders.
- β Test your arrhythmia recognition.
π‘ What Makes This Course Different
Instead of splitting related teaching across separate courses, everything now sits in one place with clearly labelled sections. You can start with the Basic material, move on when you are ready, and come back to any lecture whenever you like. Lectures are video-based and can be replayed as often as you need.
- π₯ Video lectures you can replay.
- π§© Sections labelled so you always know your level.
- π Self-check material to review your learning.
- β±οΈ Study around your work, shifts or exams.
π§ Tips for Getting the Most From the Course
Work through the Basic sections first, even if you already have experience, so the language and structure are familiar. Make short notes after each lecture and try to explain the main points aloud. Return to the Advanced and case sections before a placement, exam or busy week.
π Why Learn Cardiac devices and rhythm management in One Course?
Related topics are easier to learn when they are connected. A single course lets you see how earlier ideas lead into later ones, instead of jumping between separate programmes and repeating the same background. You keep one learning path, one set of notes and one place to return to when you need a refresher.
πΊοΈ A Simple Four-Step Study Plan
- 1οΈβ£ Watch the Basic lectures in order and take notes.
- 2οΈβ£ Review anything that felt unclear before moving on.
- 3οΈβ£ Work through the Advanced sections at a steady pace.
- 4οΈβ£ Finish with the cases, quizzes or strategy lectures to check your understanding.
β Quick Answers
Do I need experience? No. The Basic sections start from the beginning, and the Advanced sections build on them.
Can I rewatch lectures? Yes. Every lecture is online, so you can replay it whenever you like.
Can I study around work? Yes. The course is self-paced, so you decide when and how much to study each week.
Is this a replacement for formal training? No. It supports your learning and professional development. Please read the disclaimer below.
π§ What to Expect Each Week
Most learners find a rhythm of a few short lectures at a time works best. Watch with a notebook, pause to think through each example, and revisit the earlier material when a later lecture builds on it. Because the sections are labelled, you can also plan a quick refresher on a single level without rewatching the whole course.
The aim is steady, practical understanding rather than memorising isolated facts. As you move from Basic to Advanced, you should find that earlier lectures make later ones easier to follow, and that the case-based or self-check material helps you notice where to review.
π₯ Who Is This Course For?
Cardiac physiologists, nurses, junior doctors, cardiology trainees, device technicians and allied-health professionals who work with, or want to understand, pacemakers, ICDs and rhythm monitoring. The Basic sections need no specialist background.

β β β β βThis training is in-depth. What I think would make it better if there was a book that we can look at that break the information down more. Or a pdf e-book that allows us to to read to let the knowledge soak in while not watching the video or training.
