Why this programme?

Why Using EMG?

Collecting reliable EMG data requires much more than attaching sensors and pressing record. Every decision, from the equipment you choose to how you prepare participants, record signals and process data, can influence the quality and interpretation of your results.

Using EMG develops the practical skills needed to confidently acquire, process and interpret surface EMG recordings using evidence-based methods and recognised best practice.

For most learners, we recommend completing Understanding EMG first, as it provides the scientific foundations that underpin this programme. However, if you already have a solid understanding of EMG physiology and signal generation, you can begin here and focus on developing your practical application skills.
What you'll achieve

By the end of this programme you'll be able to:

  • Select appropriate surface EMG hardware and understand the strengths and limitations of different systems.
  • Prepare participants, position sensors correctly and optimise signal quality before recording.
  • Identify common sources of signal noise and apply practical strategies to minimise them.
  • Process raw EMG recordings using appropriate filtering and preprocessing techniques.
  • Perform amplitude, timing and frequency analyses using appropriate methods.
  • Apply best-practice workflows to produce reliable, meaningful and reproducible EMG assessments.
How you'll learn

Learn your way

Build practical EMG skills through concise video lessons, interactive knowledge checks, module assessments and practical learning resources designed to help you confidently collect, process and interpret high-quality EMG data.

Learn with confidence

Follow the complete surface EMG workflow, from selecting appropriate hardware and preparing participants to recording, processing and analysing high-quality EMG signals, building the practical confidence needed for real-world research, clinical practice and human performance.

Reinforce your learning

Consolidate every topic through interactive knowledge checks, module assessments and practical learning resources that reinforce best practice and help you confidently apply surface EMG in real-world assessments.

Earn three certificates

Complete each module assessment to earn an individual certificate of completion.

By the end of the programme you'll have earned certificates in:
  • Systems & Settings
  • Prepare, Check, Record
  • Process and Analyse
Your certificates recognise your achievement and can be downloaded, shared online or added to your professional portfolio and CPD records.
