1 cardiovascular technology program with costs, results and funding that can make it free

One school offers this cardiovascular technology program, and California has approved it for workforce funding. It shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Cardiovascular technologists and technicians run tests and help with procedures on the heart and lungs; those who work in the catheterization lab help doctors thread a catheter through an artery to the heart. Most need an associate degree or a certificate in cardiovascular technology, some need a state license, and employers may require or prefer professional certification.¹

In California, the one program asks for earlier courses first.

Where the California cardiovascular technology program numbers come from

Which California cardiovascular technology programs are on this list?

These are the cardiovascular technology programs California approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what California offers.

How the prices and results of California cardiovascular technology programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
