Available Courses
Basic IV Cannulation
8 hours
Online ($250)
In-Person ($350)
This introductory course is designed for beginners and early-stage healthcare professionals with little or no IV experience. It provides a strong foundation in peripheral IV access through evidence-based theory, guided practice on high-quality simulation arms, and supervised clinical shadowing. During the shadowing component, the instructor performs IV insertions on real patients while participants observe the procedure in a safe and controlled clinical environment. Learners develop skills in vein anatomy, site selection, aseptic technique, equipment setup, and the step-by-step IV insertion process—building confidence before advancing to patient-based or advanced IV training. Upon completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion to support their ongoing professional development.
