Consequently, completing this course is not required for IBHRE certification, and doing so does not guarantee successful completion of the CCDS exam.

The Cardiac Device Education and Self-Assessment Course is created for the purpose of educating heart management practitioners on cardiac device therapy and related topics. Although it serves as a resource for preparing for the Certified Cardiac Device Specialist (CCDS) examination, this online course does not cover all topics included in the CCDS Exam Blueprint. IBHRE recommends that users contact the device manufacturer(s) for more details on their specific device characteristics, functionality and algorithms. In addition, completing this course does not guarantee successful completion of the CCDS certification exam.

Upon completion of this course, you may download a certificate of completion. However, IBHRE does not offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Accredited Medical Education (ACE) credits for this course.
