Can I find a cheaper wound care course?

Be careful falling for the $199 wound certification! Pricing is reflective of preparing for independent accredited certification versus a company creating their own course completion certificate without 3rd party recognition. Many companies offering cheaper wound care certification courses or certificates are not nationally accredited or recognized. They will not prepare you for national board certification. To learn more, read the Importance of a Formally Accredited Wound Certification. 

Is an accredited wound care certification educational program the same as an accredited wound care certification?

No.  Accredited wound care certification educational programs are accredited to provide continuing education for the course.

Accredited wound care certification programs are accredited to provide the certification exam and credential.  It is essential that both the certification course and the certification exam are accredited.

Which wound care certification programs are currently accredited?

Three organizations that currently offer formally recognized accredited certifications in wound care:

Non-accredited Wound Care Certification Programs and Certificate of Completion Courses

Wound care certification and certificate services offered by other organizations may be non-accredited certifications or merely certificates of completion, which can be mistaken for an accredited wound care certification:

  • VOHRA Wound Physicians

It should be noted that both the ABWM and the WOCNCB accredited wound care certifications differentiate educational levels, while other organizations present the same testing level for each test, whether the individual is a licensed practical nurse (LPN), registered nurse (RN), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), or medical doctor (MD). 

What does accreditation of wound care certification programs mean?

Accreditation of wound care certification programs provides impartial, third-party validation that the program has met recognized national and international credentialing industry standards for development, implementation, and maintenance of certification programs. 

Certifying programs may earn accreditation only after extensive review by an external, independent accrediting body. Importantly, in order to qualify for accreditation, the certification exam must be independent of a specific class, course or other educational training program and also be independent of any provider of classes, courses, or programs. 

What is the difference between a certificate program and a certification program?

According to ICE – the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, (formerly NOCA, the National Organization for Competency Assurance) accrediting standards, a “certificate program” is a non-degree granting program that:

  1. Provides a course of instruction with intended learning outcomes.
  2. Evaluates participants’ achievement of those same learning outcomes via an examination.
  3. Awards a certificate ONLY to those who have taken that specific course and passed that specific examination.

The purpose of this kind of certificate program is to educate participants, and the examination is used as a mirror to show students their progress toward learning those specific outcomes.

A professional certification program is a non-governmental program that does two things:

  1. Delivers an assessment based on industry knowledge, independent from training courses or course providers.
  2. Grants a time-limited credential to anyone who meets the assessment standards.

In some cases, a certification examination may be used as a component of either state or national licensure.

As the standard explains, it is the role of TRAINING and its relationship to credentialing that sets these two types of credentials apart.

I am pleased to recommend the Advanced Wound Care Certification Course by WoundEducators to other therapists to enhance their practice.  The online course has a wide variety of learning applications such as books by top authors, learning modules for each topic, videos describing special testing, handouts, testing after each of the modules and comprehensive testing after completing the 18 module course.  This course can easily prepare you for the multiple types of wound certifications offered by ABWM and NAWCO or can just supplement your knowledge in the care of your patients.

I had one of my PAs take the course and have to say that we both are very pleased.  It is intense and at the same time covers all that is needed for an introduction.

This course was refreshing with the use of pictures, textbook and audio learning format. I felt it was very informative and kept my attention.
