This course is designed to give Allied Health professionals and EP Fellows / Registrars a practical working knowledge of Cardiac EP, and allow graduates to practise in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. 

Each successful graduate will be awarded a CEPIA Graduate Diploma of Cardiac Electrophysiology.  This is a world class nationally recognised qualification.  Graduates will be entitled to add the letters "Grad Dip Cardiac EP" to their title or signature. 

Each student who enrols and views all content will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the completion of their enrolment.

If you require another copy of your certificate to be sent to them for any reason (lost, damaged etc), this can be organised at a fee of AUD $30, paid before the certificate is mailed

This course is designed to be a comprehensive overview of all facets of contemporary cardiac electrophysiology, from cellular physiology to advanced mapping techniques with an emphasis on the analysis of intracardiac recordings. Theoretical and practical skills will be taught, endowing participants with the ability to perform any diagnostic or invasive electrophysiologic procedure, from syncope studies to atrial fibrillation ablation procedures.

The course is a blend of on-demand content with scheduled live-streamed workshops delivered 100% online so can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Learning EP can be complex, which is why all enrolled students are able to book personal one-on-one online tutorials with a qualified EP physiologist to facilitate learning, discuss course content, assessments or workbooks, or anything else that needs clarifying.  It's this personal approach which sets us apart from other training organisations.

Screen sharing is enabled to help with any discussions or clarification of EGMs, however video footage of the student can be disabled at your request so as to maintain privacy.

Code of Practice

Policy on recognition and training transfer

This course is 100% online.

The course registration fee covers all 4 modules of course materials, case studies, tutorials, hands-on demonstrations, live-streamed workshops and access to personal online tutorials. 

Students have a total of 5 years in which to successfully complete all assessments.  The starting date commences upon successful registration and enrolment.  Students may register and enrol at any time during the year and commence their learning immediately.  After this time if a student still has assessments outstanding and wishes to continue on with the course additional fees will be incurred.

If they do not wish to continue after this time they will be issued with the relevant "Statement of Attainment" or "Statement of Attendance" for the relevant Units satisfactorily attended and/or completed.

Each student will also receive free lifelong access to the online learning material, including all future updates.

The CEPIA Graduate Diploma of Cardiac Electrophysiology is designed with the expectation that all modules will be completed. Individual modules may be completed in isolation, however the qualification will only be awarded after successful completion of all four modules.

For registration to be complete all monies must be received prior to course commencement.

Each successful graduate will be awarded a CEPIA Graduate Diploma of Cardiac Electrophysiology.  This is a world class nationally recognised qualification.  Graduates will be entitled to add the letters "Grad Dip Cardiac EP" to their title or signature.

A satisfactory outcome must be achieved for all online assessments and workbook submissions.

In the event of an unsatisfactory outcome for any assessment or workbook activity, participants may be allowed a second attempt (fees may be incurred).

The qualification will only be awarded after successful completion of all nine (9) units as delivered in the four (4) modules (1, 2, 3, 4).

If the full qualification is not completed, a Statement of Attainment will be issued for any unit of competency satisfactorily completed (N.B each unit consists of both online assessment and workbook submission).

After successful completion of the required coursework each student will be posted a CEPIA Graduate Diploma of Cardiac Electrophysiology. If a student requires another copy to be sent to them for any reason (lost, damaged etc), a fee of AUD $30 will be incurred. This fee must be paid in full before the qualification will be mailed.

Extension / Deferral Past 5 Years

Students have a total of five (5) years in which to successfully complete all assessments.  This time starts upon successful registration and enrolment.  Students may register and enrol at any time during the calendar year and commence their learning immediately.

Once an overseas student is successful in obtaining the qualification, this does not give them the right to practise medicine in Australia. This can only be done after satisfying any requirements of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and other governing bodies.

Please visit the following websites for further information on practising medicine in Australia:
