Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a ARDMS career path. It also connects to ARDMS SPI (Sonography Principles and Instrumentation), RDCS (FE) – Fetal Echocardiography, RDCS (PE) – Pediatric Echocardiography, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.

The passing score for ARDMS AE Adult Echocardiography Examination is Scaled score 555 (on ARDMS 300–700 scale), and the official registration fee is USD 250 (approx., subject to change by ARDMS).
