ABOUT THIS COURSE
You’ve spent time in the echo lab. You know the views, the measurements, the pathology.
This course takes that clinical foundation and maps it directly to what the ARDMS and CCI exams actually test — so you’re not starting from scratch, you’re sharpening what you already know.
Over 12 hours, David and Alicia work through the ARDMS and CCI exam outlines with the kind of detail that comes from years of teaching cardiac sonographers how to pass. The course moves at a registry review pace — focused and thorough. The workbook you take home is a comprehensive echo reference you’ll reach for long after your exam, whatever your experience level.
Preparing for the CCI RCS exam? CCI’s RCS exam covers both physics and echo content in a single sitting. Plan to register for the Ultrasound Physics — SPI course alongside Adult Echo to cover the full CCI exam outline.
Our echo course is expertly taught by David Adams and Alicia Armour.
David & Alicia bring years of experience from Duke University to the classroom. Their engaging teaching style combines interactive quiz questions with invaluable test-day tips, ensuring learners stay motivated and prepared. Perfect for anyone pursuing ARDMS or CCI certifications, this course provides the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed.

STUDENT RESULTS
What our students are saying
Alicia was passionate in her teaching. She explained how to study, when to study, and what important areas of concentration. My apprehension went away within the first hour of the presentation. By Sunday, I felt confident!
The three-day lecture was so effective, and many of the questions came from your lectures. If a person wants to pass the RDCS exam, they should review the workbook and the questions in X-ZONE.
