Yes. This course is designed for clinicians and early-career sonographers with no previous echo experience. We start from the basics and build your confidence through live scanning and ongoing support.

Most echo courses fall into one of two extremes:
👉 Either they’re purely hands-on for a day or two—with no structured prep or follow-up
👉 Or they’re fully online—with no chance to actually scan or get feedback

The EchoMasters Foundation Course bridges that gap.
You get:

• 4 structured pre-course modules so you show up ready to scan

• 2 full days of immersive hands-on training with real models and simulators

• 12 months of evolving online platforms to keep learning well beyond the course

It’s not just a course—it’s a full learning journey, designed to take you from scratch to scan with confidence.

You’ll be granted access to the 4 structured modules on 23 August 2025, giving you 4 weeks to prepare before the hands-on course.

Absolutely. You’ll get 12 months of access to two evolving online platforms, so you can continue learning and reviewing real-world echo cases anytime.

The EchoMasters Foundation Course fully aligns with the FUSIC Heart curriculum—and takes it further.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

• ✅ Aligned with FUSIC Standards: You’ll be taught all core FUSIC Heart views and protocols by a recognised mentor.

• 👨‍⚕️ Led by a FUSIC Mentor & Supervisor: The course director is an officially recognised FUSIC Mentor and Supervisor accredited by the Intensive Care Society (ICS).

• 🚀 Goes Beyond FUSIC: We integrate advanced content like valvular assessment, image interpretation, and clinical drills that aren’t formally covered in FUSIC.

• 🧠 Structured Learning Journey: Unlike most FUSIC courses, which are standalone hands-on sessions, EchoMasters gives you:
  → 4 structured pre-course modules
  → 2 days of immersive hands-on training
  → 12 months of evolving case-based online support

This isn’t just a FUSIC-aligned course. It’s a full foundational journey for anyone who wants to build lasting echo confidence—from the very first scan to real-life application.

The EchoMasters Foundation Course fully supports your journey toward BSE Level 1—but is designed to be more flexible, clinically focused, and deeply practical.

Here’s how we’re different:

• ✅ Covers the Full BSE Level 1 Scope: We teach all required views, measurements, and protocols needed for Level 1 competency.

• 🔍 Interpretation-Focused: We go beyond basic acquisition—our course trains you to actually interpret findings in real on-call, emergency, and ICU scenarios.

• 🩺 Designed for Acute Care: EchoMasters specifically prepares you for fast, focused scanning during clinical pressure—like shock, hypoxia, or post-op deterioration.

• 💡 No Logbook or Supervised Cases Required: This course gives you foundational skills. If you later choose to pursue formal BSE accreditation, you’ll be far more prepared.

• 📚 12-Month Support vs. One-Time Course: Most BSE-aligned courses are done as Hands-On only—with no follow-up. We give you 12 months of evolving, case-based online training so your learning continues.

We’re not here to replace BSE. We’re here to make you confident, scan-ready, and capable—so you’re prepared whether you go on to accreditation or simply want to perform safe, meaningful scans in clinical life.

The Foundation Course covers the entire scope of both FUSIC Heart and BSE Level 1 curriculum—and goes beyond by integrating practical drills and evolving online support. Accreditation status is being finalised for future versions.

Yes. You’ll receive a certificate of attendance that confirms your participation in a structured hands-on echo course covering FUSIC and BSE Level 1 scope.

Just yourself! All equipment, resources, and scanning stations are provided. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing. You’ll also receive digital access to your pre-course modules 4 weeks in advance — no paperwork needed.

Please contact us as early as possible. Depending on the timing and whether we can fill your place from the waiting list, we may be able to offer a course transfer or partial refund in line with our cancellation policy.

No—this is not a BSE Level 2 course.

The EchoMasters Foundation Course is specifically designed for beginners, early-career clinicians, and sonographers who want to build confident, real-world transthoracic echo skills—especially for acute care, emergencies, and on-call decision-making.

Here’s what that means for you:

• 🩺 You’ll learn how to acquire all standard views used in acute and foundational practice

• 🧠 You’ll develop the ability to differentiate normal from abnormal, mild from severe, and recognise life-threatening findings at the bedside

• 📈 You’ll be introduced to CW Doppler and gross quantification of valvular pathology—but we don’t teach advanced valve grading, continuity equations, or 3D imaging in this course

This course equips you with what truly matters in acute care—focused, high-impact echo interpretation. Not advanced measurements for lab-based accreditation.

👉 If you're ready to build on this foundation, you’ll be welcome in our Advanced Courses in the future.

Our courses are designed for doctors and cardiac sonographers working in acute care, emergency medicine, intensive care, and early-stage cardiology training. Whether you're just starting or looking to build solid confidence in your scanning, you'll find the support and structure you need here.

🧭 Coming Soon: We’ll also be offering intermediate to advanced courses in transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TTE & TOE) for clinicians and sonographers in cardiology and critical care.

• Online Courses: 30-day conditional satisfaction guarantee (launch period only).

• Hands-On Courses: If your situation changes, please contact us early. We’ll try to fill your slot from the waitlist and may offer a course transfer or partial refund in line with our cancellation policy. Seats are transferrable with written notice.
  If EchoMasters must cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be offered.

Absolutely. While our in-person events are UK-based, we welcome international learners. Our online courses and digital resources are accessible worldwide. If you’re planning to travel for a hands-on course, feel free to contact us for travel recommendations.
