CCDS Cardiac exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The IBHRE Allied Professional Certified Cardiac Device Specialist (CCDS) exam requires candidates to demonstrate active involvement in heart rhythm management, met through one of two pathways: completion of a formal, comprehensive training program in cardiac pacing and/or electrophysiology providing a minimum of 6 months of didactic training and 6 months of field exposure, or successful completion of the Registered Cardiac Electrophysiology Specialist (RCES) or Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist (RCIS) examination through Cardiovascular Credentialing International (or an equivalent exam) plus a minimum of 12 months of clinical experience in cardiac pacing and/or electrophysiology. The exam fee is a flat $990 USD regardless of HRS membership status, application type (first-time, retest, or recertification), or registration timing. The computer-based exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions administered over 4 hours, split into timed sections that cannot be revisited once completed.
