Are you looking for ways to earn CE hours online? Do you need a flexible CE schedule? WoundEducators’ courses are approved for continuing education hours!


While many LPNs use our courses to help prepare for wound certification, many others use our wound care courses for the continuing education credits the courses provide.

Upon completion of the LPN online wound care course, WoundEducators will reward you with 50 CE hours. These can be used towards your required CE hours per renewal period.

More CE Hours for Your Investment

Here at WoundEducators, we believe the student comes first. This is why we offer more CE hours per dollar spent than any other wound care certification provider! Our course offers enough CE hours to satisfy every state’s LPN continuing education requirements.

Our LPN Wound Certification Course will take approximately 50 hours to complete. Each LPN is given six months to complete the course, which allows you to go at your own pace. Our courses are easy to follow and include many different learning methods and plenty of videos. You can do
as little as 2.5 hours per week and still complete your wound care course on time. The pace is completely up to you!
