Multiple Methods for Success
We use multiple online training methods including audio, video, text, written outlines, flashcards, and physical wound dressing products to reinforce knowledge. We are wound care nurses and professionals too, so we update our courses often to stay relevant with current wound care practices and rely heavily on evidence-based studies to provide you online wound care training courses that you can use in real life.
Online Wound Course Training Topics
If your career needs include learning more about ulcers, we’ve got you covered. Each one of our online courses goes in-depth with ulcers – one of the most common chronic wounds. We cover the different types of ulcers and how to identify them, including diabetic ulcers, lower extremity ulcers, venous insufficiency ulcers, and pressure ulcers. Don’t put your career on hold; advance it simultaneously! Because our courses can be accessed from any device, you don’t have to carve out a ton of spare time to learn.
In addition to ulcers, you will also learn about basic skin layers and functions, biolfilms, antibiotic-resistant organisms, edema, skin tears, wound assessment, wound bed prep, and wound management techniques, including debridement.
Debridement is the most popular wound management technique covered in our online wound care training programs. We go in-depth with the most up-to-date practices of mechanical debridement, surgical debridement biological debridement, enzymatic debridement, and autolytic debridement and what conditions each debridement method is suited for.
The Difference Between Infection and Inflammation
An important aspect in wound care is preventing or treating infections. Our online wound care training courses make it easy to point out the signs of infection, how to mitigate wound infection, and how to tell the difference between infection and inflammation. We believe our students can be the #1 factor in reducing the national burden of chronic and re-infected wounds.
Textbook & Wound Dressings Included
Not only do we provide ample wound dressing information in our online wound care training programs, but we also send you full-size wound dressing products to practice with and try at home. These wound dressing products come in your course kit which is delivered to you at the start of your training course. We also include a textbook(s) in the package, which you can reference long after your online course is complete.
Easy to Understand & Apply
You can use our wound care training courses to learn more about wound care, gain CE hours, and to better assist your patients. We ensure that all important wound care topics are covered at an in-depth level in every one of our courses. We approach wound care learning with an easy to understand, practical application that will be valuable for years to come.

Horetta Moore says
I am very grateful for this information, I am a Jamaican Assistant Nurse, living and working in Jamaica and not sure if this course would be approved by the Nursing Council of Jamaica. So not sure after completing the course how I would be able to apply this knowledge to my daily work.
Holly Hingle says
Horetta,
Thanks for contacting WoundEducators.com! You can definitely take our course to learn more about wound care, but I would check with the Nursing Council of Jamaica to see what CE hours and accreditation is possible in your area.
Meg Buckley RN says
Wounds have always interested me. I am a retired hospice RN and I would love to take your course, but the cost is prohibitive for me. Do you offer any “scholarships” ?
Holly Hingle says
Meg,
We do offer a $297 course that can be used for educational purposes. Since this course is shorter, it does not qualify to be used for certification. Since you are retired and simply want to learn more about wound care, this may be the best option. Link to course: https://woundeducators.com/wound-care-certification-courses/certificate/

Do you have a school setting, like hands on for those who are visual learners?
Holly Hingle says
Lilian,
If efforts to offer you the most cost-effective learning, our courses are 100% online. Every course comes with a wound care textbook that is yours to keep to help reinforce training. As healthcare professionals are often busy and have varying work hours, we’ve found the best fit for most is online learning. If we do branch out to hands-on settings, we will definitely let you know!
