Our accredited wound care courses do more than just prepare you for the board certification examinations. They help you build advanced clinical knowledge that leads to long-lasting benefits - for yourself and your patients. They provide you the real-world, practical wound care training that can be used in your practice immediately. Become an expert in current standards of care, and continuously improve with access to alumni resources and best practices from clinicians across the country.
Available wound care certification prep courses include Wound Care (WCC®), Diabetic Wound Care (DWC®), Nutrition Wound Care (NWCC®), and Ostomy Management Specialist (OMS®). Onsite and online options are available. The onsite course gives you dedicated time away from work to really focus on your wound care training and interact with peers and the trainer directly. The online course presents the same great information but eliminates the need to take time off work. You'll have 180 days to complete the online course when and where it best fits your schedule.
Once you complete your courses, the exam and certification is through the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy® (NAWCO). NAWCO is accredited by the NCCA, ensuring that your certification meets modern standards of practice. The certifications are also magnet-recognized.
