Pathways
Choose an audience to see only the units that pathway assembles.
Program goals
Every objective below rolls up to one of these.
Technical competence
Prepare learners to perform neurodiagnostic recordings to a defined technical standard under the supervision model their organization has authorized.
Patient safety and professionalism
Prepare learners to protect patients, recognize escalation triggers and work inside technologist scope.
Sustainable workforce production
Produce technologists a department can actually deploy, with documented competency and preceptor capacity that survives turnover.
Courses
The full framework, including the parts a hospital must supply itself.
NDT-101 · Foundations & medical terminology
Orientation to the field, terminology, abbreviations and how a neurodiagnostic department fits a hospital.
NDT-105 · Neuroanatomy & physiology
Cortical organization, lobes, thalamocortical relationships and the physiology behind surface potentials.
NDT-110 · Neurophysiology & EEG principles
Generators, volume conduction, polarity, localization logic and what the surface record can and cannot show.
NDT-120 · 10–20 system & electrode application
Measurement, site derivation, application technique, integrity and comfort.
NDT-125 · Equipment & electrical concepts
Amplifiers, differential recording, grounding, common-mode rejection and the electrical vocabulary of the bench.
NDT-130 · Impedance & signal integrity
What impedance measures, what it does not, and how to solve a bad channel systematically.
NDT-135 · Filters, sensitivity, time base & montages
Display parameters as tools with consequences, and montage construction and reconstruction.
NDT-140 · Normal EEG, sleep & benign variants
Normal waking and sleep features by age, and the benign variants technologists must recognize as technical context.
NDT-145 · Artifact recognition & troubleshooting
Physiologic and non-physiologic artifact, isolation strategy and documentation.
NDT-150 · Routine EEG procedure
End-to-end routine study: preparation, recording, technical description and handoff.
NDT-155 · Activation procedures & safety
Hyperventilation, photic stimulation and sleep deprivation: indications, contraindications and stop criteria.
NDT-160 · Pediatric, adaptive & sensory-aware care
Technique and communication for children, autistic patients and patients with sensory or communication differences.
NDT-165 · Ambulatory EEG
Setup durability, patient and caregiver education, diary use, problem calls and return workflow.
NDT-170 · LTM & EMU workflow
Long-term monitoring operations, safety, event handling and shift handover.
NDT-175 · Critical care & cEEG
ICU environment, electrode durability, maintenance rounds, escalation criteria and coverage models.
NDT-180 · Seizure testing & escalation within technical scope
Structured testing during events, documentation and escalation without interpretation.
NDT-185 · Neurological disorders in context
Clinical context a technologist needs to record well — not diagnosis.
NDT-190 · Documentation & technical description
Writing a technical description that a reader can rely on.
NDT-195 · Infection prevention
Reprocessing, isolation precautions and the practical realities of portable work.
NDT-200 · Electrical & patient safety
Leakage, equipment checks, safe practice around lines, devices and beds.
NDT-205 · Ethics, professionalism & scope
Scope boundaries, honesty in documentation, consent, privacy and escalation duty.
NDT-210 · Communication
Patients, families, nursing, residents and physicians — including hard conversations.
NDT-215 · Quality & continuous improvement
Technical quality review, repeat-study drivers and how a lab improves itself.
NDT-220 · Operations: scheduling, throughput & call
How work arrives, how it is sequenced and what call really costs.
NDT-230 · Career & credential pathway
Role ladder, external credential landscape and how to plan a pathway honestly.
GEN-101 · General education & science prerequisites
Anatomy and physiology, general education and other institutional prerequisites a formal program must supply through its sponsoring institution. NeuroOps does not satisfy these.
Units, objectives and everything attached to them
Objective → activity → assessment → clinical competency → source, visible in one place.
Landmarks, proportional measurement and why derived sites are not estimates.
1020.1 — Identify nasion, inion and preauricular points and explain why proportional measurement produces reproducible sites.
Developing · 71%Where it shows up: Every study you record, and every comparison between studies, depends on the sites being where they claim to be.
What it prevents: Mis-measured sites shift apparent lateralization and make serial studies non-comparable.
ASET · Electrode application competency area · Referenced — not reproduced · referencedNeuroOps · 1020.1 · v1.4 · verifiedClinical competency this supports: 10–20 measurement and electrode application — verified by observation, never by this page.
1020.2 — Derive the standard 10–20 positions from measured landmarks and place them on a head diagram.
Developing · 65%Where it shows up: You place these sites on every patient, often in poor conditions at the bedside.
What it prevents: Guessed placement is the most common source of unusable serial comparisons.

Standards posture
What each referenced body actually does, and what we do not claim.
CAAHEP accredits educational programs, not individual learners. Academy is built so that a sponsoring institution could pursue programmatic accreditation later: goals, courses, units, objectives, activities, assessments, competencies and outcomes are all versioned and mappable. As of this build the Neurodiagnostic Technology standard is listed as in development, so Academy holds the mapping slots open rather than guessing at final requirements.
Standards and Guidelines for Neurodiagnostic Technology programs
Structural placeholder only. Academy reserves the mapping slots so final published standards can be attached later without rebuilding the curriculum.
CAAHEP accredits educational programs, not individual learners. As of this build the Neurodiagnostic Technology standard is listed as in development, so no requirement text is asserted here. Research required before any mapping is treated as verified.
Committee on Accreditation requirements and resources
Placeholder for sponsorship, self-study, resource, faculty and clinical-education requirements once verified.
No requirement has been transcribed. Confirm current documents with the Committee on Accreditation before mapping.
National Competency Skill Standards (referenced by name)
Competency areas are referenced by title and locator. No skill text is copied into Academy.
Referenced as an external competency framework. Obtain the current document from the issuing body for authoritative wording.
Core EEG Curriculum (13-course structure, referenced)
Used for orchestration: Academy can record that a learner completed external coursework and align internal objectives to it. Academy does not represent that curriculum as its own.
The issuing body recommends formal accredited education as the preferred entry pathway while supporting employer-trained learners. Academy complements, and does not substitute for, that content.
Examination content domains (referenced by name only)
Domain titles may be referenced for orientation once verified. No examination items or eligibility claims.
Academy makes no eligibility claim and provides no examination content. Verify current domains and licensing terms directly.

Independent platform — no affiliation
NeuroOps is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of ABRET, ASET, ACNS, AANEM, ASNM, CAAHEP, any labor organization or any licensing board. Organization names appear only as factual references to publicly available documents; no logos or copyrighted text are used.
NeuroOps Academy is education and competency infrastructure administered by the sponsoring organization. It is not accredited by CAAHEP, is not a CAAHEP candidate or applicant program, and is not a credentialing, certifying or licensing authority. Completion of Academy content does not establish eligibility for any examination, does not confer any credential, and does not authorize independent clinical practice. Clinical competency is evidenced by observed performance and verified by the employing organization.
