BIG NEWS! We have just launched a 23-hour Wound Care Certificate Course
– this course is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their wound management skills! This wound care certificate course will serve as the basis for evidence-based wound management.
Foundation for Wound Care Knowledge
Based off of our expertise and valuable feedback from our past customers, we saw a need for a quick wound care course. This course allows professionals to explore their interests in wound care and decide if they should pursue full wound care certification. Our 23-hour course will provide the foundation to later expand your wound care knowledge and practical management.
This new certificate course is ideal for employers looking to train their staff on wound care basics, current treatment options, and industry guidelines. Compared to our other courses, this wound care course is a much shorter version of our full courses, focused on highlighting the most important aspects of wound care. Unlike our other courses which are specific to your current professional title and experience, this course is a simple “one-size-fits-all” solution that anyone interested in wound care can take.
What is an evidence-based program?
Both healthcare methods and wound care technology are constantly evolving. Programs that provide evidence-based solutions can help standardize current wound management and provide the best outcomes possible. Evidence-based solutions are ones that provide scientific evidence for treatment options actually work. Quality research plays an important part in the development of our evidence-based wound care certificate courses.
Group Discounts & Continuing Education Information
Like our regular wound care certification courses, group discounts are available for those that meet the eligibility criteria. (*link to group discount info). If you are interested in taking our wound care courses for continuing education hours, we advise you to take one of our full courses available here – any one of these full courses will provide you with up to 60 CE hours.
Head-Start on Your Wound Care Knowledge
Even if your current employer has not issued regulations for certification training, you can elect to take our wound care certificate course on your own! Obtaining your certificate from WoundEducators.com can prove your wound care knowledge to your employer and show your commitment to providing patients with the best care. If you do not have the required experience to pursue full certification, taking this beginner’s wound care certificate course can provide you a head-start on the knowledge needed to become certified at a later time.
Build Your Resume
Once you complete our wound care certificate course, you will be issued a WoundEducators.com certificate of completion. This training certificate can be used to pursue career advancement and serve as an addition to your resume.
Wound Care Certificate Course Benefits
If you are a current healthcare or related sales professional looking to begin or expand your wound care knowledge, this course is the perfect option. Priced at just $297, our wound care certificate course can provide you with valuable wound care knowledge you can use for the rest of your career. Additionally, taking this beginner’s course can make completing the full certification course easier since you will be building on wound care knowledge you are already familiar with.

Stephanie says
What is the difference between the new wound care certificate( 297.00) course and the more expensive one( 797.00) ??? they both offer certificates, right? ??
Laurie Swezey says
Hi Stephanie, Yes, they both provide certificates of completion. The certification courses are much more detailed and provide CE hours and a training kit that is shipped to your home. The certification courses will prepare you to pass the nationally accredited wound care certification exam. The certificate course is less detailed and will NOT prepare you for the exam, however, will provide a very detailed overview of evidence-based wound management.

Brandy Brewer says
So I’m interested in trying to obtain a wound care certification. I have 11years of CNA experience as well as 7 years of LPN experience and recently I obtained my RN license. I have always worked in LTC, and have managed our wounds/treatments for the residents on a daily basis. My question is would that experience be enough to be eligible to take the courses that are offered?
Holly Hingle says
Brandy, we applaud your commitment to the healthcare industry! To sit for the certification exam, you will need to show three years of clinical experience. The ABWM defines three years of clinical experience as follows:
“Three years of wound care experience can be acquired over the course of your career. It does not necessarily have to be a consecutive three years. Wound care does not have to be your primary responsibility during that time, as long as you can demonstrate you have had roles related to wound care throughout your career.”

Please contact us if you have any further questions.
Judith Alvaro says
I have been an RN for almost ten years working in a hospital setting in California. Wound care nurse is always my passion and working in the hospital allows me to obtain a hands on experience to care patients with different types of wounds. Any advice how to go about to pursue my passion? Certification valid nationwide??
