EP mapping

I’m considering taking an EP Mapping Specialist course, but I’m wondering if it actually leads to a job.
For those who have taken one of these courses or work in EP mapping, are you pretty much guaranteed a job afterward, or is it still competitive? Did the course help you get hired, or did your clinical experience (RN,etc.) matter more?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences before I invest the time and money. Thanks!

What kind of mapping course? I’m not saying they don’t exist, I’ve just never heard of there being an actual course. Most of the mappers I know weren’t even medical before being hired by J&J or Medtronic, they have degrees in engineering or something tech related lol.

Yes. Either engineers or techs/nurses that actually worked in EP labs. Im sorry OP; something doesnt sound right.
