IV Technician Course & Certification

IV stands for intravenous venipuncture; this is the process of inserting a needle and catheter into a vein in the arm. IVs are used to infuse medications and provide hydration. IV technicians can work almost anywhere, from clinics and medical spas to hospitals and labs. If you are interested in getting into healthcare without spending years in school, this course may be the perfect fit for you.

The IV course curriculum includes principles of proper venipuncture technique, proper IV technique, basic principles of intravenous insertion and flushing, and techniques of intravenous line establishment. Students will receive an IV venipuncture simulation kit to practice and perform their skills in IV insertion.

Upon course completion, students will need to pass the online certification exam to receive their IV Technician Certification. Our classes offer national accrediting exams which allow students to work anywhere in the U.S.
