ECG With Reid: The $9 Room Claiming 30 CME Credits

ECG Interpretation with Reid sells an ECG course inside a Skool community for $9 a month, and states on its about page that the course is accredited for 30 Category 1 CME credits. We verified the price, the 1,082-member roster and the 5.0 rating; the accreditation and the contents are the community's own description. That description lists 200+ lecture videos, 150+ case studies, an eBook and weekly live webinars. What we can measure is the Skool comparison: $9 sits in the cheapest band on the platform, well below the $39 median across 768 priced rooms. This breakdown looks at the offer and the pricing mechanic, not the cardiology.

The founder does the selling

Reid G

The founder of ECG Interpretation with Reid. His Skool profile describes him as teaching medical professionals and students the art of ECG interpretation with what he calls the fastest and most effective online ECG course. He answers questions in the community directly and runs the weekly EKG webinars himself.

Reid sells against the way ECG is normally taught. The about page names the failure mode in one line, that people have memorised findings without understanding the underlying physiology, and then positions the fix as connecting cardiac electrophysiology and conduction principles directly to every trace. That is a teaching claim rather than a content claim, and it is the whole differentiator.

What ECG With Reid sells

ECG With Reid sells a self-paced ECG interpretation course with live weekly contact for $9 a month, and it leads on accreditation rather than on results. The about page opens with the accrediting bodies, names two specific fears, then lists the deliverables. Below is that page word for word, with the key parts numbered. Hover a number to see what each line is doing.

Read as a builder, this is the credential play. In a licensed profession the buyer already has a compulsory annual spend, continuing education, and a compulsory annual anxiety, being wrong in front of a patient. Reid attaches to both at once, then prices the whole thing at a level where the purchase requires no deliberation.

Why $9 works here

Because the price is not competing with other courses, it is competing with hesitation. At 1,082 members the room's sticker revenue is at most $9,738 a month, which is below the $10,218 that the fiftieth-placed Health community earned on Skool's category leaderboard the same day. This room does not appear on that top 50 at all.

That is the trade. A CME course priced at a few hundred dollars with a hundred buyers would out-earn it comfortably. Reid has chosen roster size over margin, and in a profession where the qualifying question is whether the credits are real, a large satisfied roster is itself the marketing asset. The 5.0 rating across seven Skool reviews is early, but it is the kind of proof that compounds.

The retention mechanic is the price lock. "Lock in the current price for life" tells a member that cancelling costs them the rate, not just the access, which converts an ordinary monthly decision into a one-way door. It is the same lever covered in closing doors and locking a price, and it pairs naturally with the 7-day trial sitting in front of it.

The funnel, step by step

The room converts on accreditation plus a price too small to argue with, and retains on the rate lock plus weekly live contact.

The formula you can copy

Find the compulsory spend. Licences, renewals, certifications and audits are budgets that already exist. A community that satisfies one of them starts the conversation past the objection.

Name the bad teaching, not the missing knowledge. "You memorised findings without understanding the physiology" tells the reader their problem is not effort, which is a far more comfortable thing to admit than ignorance.

Price below deliberation, then lock it. At $9 nobody builds a spreadsheet. The price-for-life lock then makes the cheap entry expensive to leave. See how other rooms handle the same decision in how to price a Skool community and what the wider market charges in Skool community cost.

Frequently asked questions

What is ECG With Reid?

ECG Interpretation with Reid is a private Skool community priced at $9 a month with 1,082 members as of 7 September 2026. It offers an ECG lecture course of 200-plus videos, 150-plus case studies, an eBook, weekly live EKG webinars, daily on-demand lectures and direct Q&A with the founder, and states that it is accredited for 30 Category 1 CME credits.

What are ECG With Reid's credentials?

The community's about page states it is accredited by the AMA, AAPA, ANCC, ACPE, ADA and others for Category 1 CME, worth 30 credits. That claim is the community's own. Anyone relying on the credit should confirm current accreditation with the relevant body and their own licensing board before paying.

Is ECG With Reid free?

No. It is $9 a month, though the about page offers a 7-day risk-free trial and says members can cancel at any time. There is also a stated price lock, so members who join at $9 keep that rate.

How long does it take to learn ECG interpretation?

The community does not publish a completion time, and the honest answer is that it varies enormously by role and prior exposure. What the room does publish is the volume, 200-plus lectures plus 150-plus case studies plus weekly live sessions, which is structured for repeated practice rather than a single pass.

What is the lesson for other community builders?

Attach to a spend the buyer is already obliged to make, use third-party accreditation as the trust signal instead of testimonials, price low enough that joining needs no deliberation, then lock that price so leaving costs more than the subscription. More rooms using the same mechanics are collected in the best Skool communities to join.
