The program guides you through the key principles, equipment, pacing protocols, arrhythmia mechanisms and ablation techniques used and seen in the everyday EP lab. Intracardiac recordings will also be taught, endowing participants with the ability to understand and follow procedures in the EP lab, as well as explain these procedures to patients and relatives.

Students will have access to a library of previously recorded live-streamed workshops covering a wide range of electrophysiology topics, case studies, and tutorials.
Live group workshops are no longer held on a regular basis, but students are encouraged to book on demand personalised one-on-one tutorials with experienced CEPIA trainers to discuss specific topics in more detail.
One-on-one sessions provide live interaction, focused discussion, and tailored support to suit individual learning needs.
These personalised sessions are ideal for clarifying unfamiliar or complex concepts and building confidence in real-world application.
Upon enrolment participants will have uninterrupted 12 month access to all online education tools at www.cepia.com.au including all lectures in full colour with audio, case studies, tutorials and live-streamed workshops
Participants will be able to demonstrate:
Improved knowledge of cardiac anatomy and physiology
Solid understanding of the role of EPS in managing patients with bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias
Enhanced knowledge of patient and lab set up and equipment used
Familiarity of catheter access and approaches, basic catheter locations and electrogram interpretation
Understanding of pacing protocols used during EPS
Appreciation of common arrhythmia aetiology, mechanisms and diagnostic features
Comprehension of arrhythmia mapping and ablation techniques and endpoints
