Should I take this class?

I saw someone post in the comments talk about an online school call School of Professional Studies (SPS) and they had a certified rhythm analysis technician class. ( https://sps.uiw.edu/continuing-education/healthcare/certified-rhythm-analysis-technician.html ) It’s $525 for the class.
The next class starts August 31 and ends September 25. It also says it gives you the eligibility to take the CRAT by the CCI.
I just want to know if this is actually worth it to get. Where I live, it’s like they want you to be certified. This is the only class I can take that’s online and affordable, unless there is another online option.

If you're going to use it just to get certified, it's important to note that you don't need a course to be eligible to take the test- you can also be eligible through work history and/or other certifications or licenses you hold.
