Has anybody heard of Collegeltc.com SWOC course?

Specialties Wound

Published

Hello guys, After obtaining my license last May I had been non-stop looking for job until now. I got hired in HH for $20/visit PD no reimbursement. Since I mostly do wound care in HH I am considering taking wound care certification. I've looked at few sites/location that are available here in Orange,CA. WCEI cost about $2000 which is way out of my budget. I found this site collegeltc.com who offers 2 days course for Skin, Wound, and Ostomy Certification Course SWOC for $499. I have been searching online for any reviews about this school and haven't found any. :banghead:

Can anybody please enlightened me about this course as to do they have to be accredited by someone/someplace to administer such course? And I heard that I have to take some kind of examination like a certification sorta like CNA certification to obtain wound care certification credential? and what is WCC and how does this differ to this course from collegeltc.com?

Sorry for all the questions I just haven't gotten a clue how to obtain wound care certification and If I am going to the right place and not waste time and money that I already don't have.

Thank you so very much and I appreciate you reading my post.

I haven't heard of this "school" but WCC is a specific certification offers by The National Alliance of Wound Care.

There is also WOCN (wound, ostomy & continence nurse certification with a minimum requirement of RN with a BSN).

Here is a comparison of the major wound care certifications:

I've never heard if "SWOC" certification and I can't access the site from my current location but I'm surprised they use "skin" as part of the certification title. I've only encountered WCC & WOCN when shadowing wound care nursing professionals
