Clinical skills. Real confidence. Better care at the line.
Cathedra trains RNs, LPNs/LVNs, and NPs in peripheral IV, PICC, midline, central line, and port care — plus the infusions and complications that decide whether a shift goes smoothly. Interactive scenarios, not a passive video-plus-quiz.

Curriculum
What your team will actually practice.
Every course is structured as an interactive clinical experience — animated demonstrations, drag-and-drop device identification, branching scenario cases, a guided IV insertion walkthrough with step-by-step feedback, and a randomized final examination drawn from a large question bank.
From vein selection and tourniquette timing to flashback confirmation and securing the line — a guided insertion walkthrough with step-by-step feedback.
Probe orientation, in-plane vs. out-of-plane technique, and needle tip tracking on animated ultrasound windows — built for the modern bedside.
Device selection by indication, dressing changes, cap swaps, lumen care, and removal — with drag-and-drop device identification that never lets you guess.
Pre-medication, infusion rate ramps, reaction recognition, and the vital-sign checkpoints that separate a routine infusion from a confident one.
Branching scenario cases that test your first-five-minutes response when a line goes wrong — with corrective actions, not just identification.
Drawn from a large question bank, so repeat learners never see the same test twice — and competency validation stays distinct from a refresher.
How it works
From enrollment to documented competency — in four steps.
Pick a course
Individuals browse the library. Facilities assign curricula from one dashboard.
Work the scenarios
Animated demonstrations, device-ID drag-and-drop, branching case studies, and a guided insertion walkthrough — interactive, not passive video.
Take the randomized exam
Questions drawn from a large bank; ordering and content shift every attempt so repetition builds skill, not memorization.
Document competency
Certificates downloaded, expiration dates tracked, and an optional in-person skills session with an approved instructor added when the employer requires verified proficiency.
Two tiers, one product. Cathedra clearly distinguishes educational refreshers from competency validation. An optional in-person skills session with an approved instructor can be added for individuals and facilities that need verified proficiency.
For facilities & schools
A dedicated administrator dashboard — assign, track, document.
Skill the whole unit at once, not one clinician at a time. Cathedra's administrator dashboard keeps curricula, test scores, certificates, and expiration dates in one shared view.
Assign curricula across the team
Onboard a class of new graduates or reassign annual refreshers to the entire unit in a single action.
Track scores and progress
Every test score, attempt history, and certificate lives in one view — searchable by clinician, role, or unit.
Catch expiring certifications early
A dashboard of upcoming expirations so you re-credential before a credential lapses, not after a survey finds it.
Export training records on demand
Download complete training records for audits, accreditation, or incident review — formatted, dated, signed.
