What is PICC Excellence and what does it offer?

PICC Excellence is a vascular access education platform for individual clinicians and healthcare organizations. It provides evidence-based courses, certification and mastery programs, hands-on training, and site licensing covering PICC insertion, ultrasound-guided PIV, IV therapy, midline, neonatal, and pediatric vascular access. It fits clinicians who need certification or skill development, and teams or health systems that need to standardize vascular access education across departments or facilities.

What the site is

PICC Excellence describes itself as a leader in vascular access education, with more than 30 years in the field. Its stated purpose is to help learners build skills, standardize practice, and improve patient care. Education is delivered in formats that range from online learning to simulation, supervised practice, competency assessment, and mastery pathways.

The site reports these figures:

Who it is for

The site organizes its offering around three audiences:

• Individual clinicians — build knowledge, clinical skills, certification, and mastery through courses, programs, and workshops.
• Clinical teams — deliver consistent vascular access education to multiple clinicians through flexible site licensing.
• Hospitals and health systems — standardize evidence-based education across departments, facilities, or an entire organization.

Certification and mastery programs

These are structured pathways supporting knowledge, insertion skills, competency, and professional growth:

• CPUITM — Certified PICC Ultrasound Inserter. Adult PICC insertion education and certification.
• CNPITM — Certified Neonatal PICC Inserter. Specialized neonatal PICC education and certification.
• UGPIV Mastery® — Ultrasound-Guided PIV Mastery. Knowledge and psychomotor skill development for ultrasound-guided PIV insertion.
• IV Therapy Mastery / Peripheral Catheter Mastery. Structured education and competency development for IV therapy.

Team and organization solutions

For groups rather than individuals, the site frames its value in four ways:

• Train your team — consistent education for PICC, ultrasound, IV therapy, midline, neonatal, and pediatric vascular access.
• Build competency — combine online learning with simulation, supervised practice, competency assessment, and mastery pathways.
• Standardize education — consistent, evidence-based education across departments, facilities, or an entire health system.
• Manage education at scale — choose focused programs or broader access based on your organization, number of learners, and training goals.

Site licensing is presented as the mechanism for team and organizational access, with the choice of license depending on the organization, the number of learners, and training goals.

How to decide if it fits

• If you are an individual clinician seeking certification or structured skill development in PICC, ultrasound-guided PIV, or IV therapy, start with the individual training and certification program pages.
• If you are responsible for a team that needs consistent training across several clinicians, look at site licensing.
• If you are part of a hospital or health system aiming to standardize practice across departments or facilities, the organizational solutions path is the relevant one.
