EKG Technician Certification: How the NHA CET Exam Works (2026)
Understand the NHA Certified EKG Technician exam, its live-EKG eligibility gate, and the blueprint that applies to your test date.
EKG technician certification is a practical entry point into cardiovascular care, but the exam is not only a rhythm-reading test. The NHA CET blueprint gives the most weight to EKG acquisition, and every eligibility pathway includes evidence of ten EKGs performed on live individuals.
Castleport's CET hub keeps both NHA test plans visible, separates what is official from what is calculated, and starts with a free browser-only diagnostic rather than a paid product or a pass guarantee.
