Drawing blood and placing an IV catheter share about ten seconds of technique. Then one skill ends and the harder one begins.

Plenty of combined venepuncture and cannulation courses split practice time equally between the two. That shortchanges the skill that actually fails at the bedside — cannulation adds a second motor skill (threading the catheter off the needle) plus all the aftercare a blood draw never touches. Some programs give you eight hours on real veins. Others are a half-day of slides and a latex arm.

We wrote a buyer's guide: what a combined course should cover, how much supervised practice each skill really needs, and the questions that expose a certificate mill:

They say it takes around 60 reps to truly develop a skill. Most providers never get that many opportunities during training. That's why we created Stick Lab: live sticks on real arms, real mentoring, and focused practice in a controlled environment.
