Welcome to your FNCB IVSE-C Certification preparation journey! This course guides you from start to finish with everything you need to succeed.
If the course looks familiar, it should! FNCB uses the same template for FNCB’s foundational Certifications (Generalist Forensic Nurse, GFN-C® & Advanced Forensic Nurse, AFN-C®) and Micro Certifications Interpersonal Violence Strangulation Evaluation, IVSE-C and the Sexual Violence Forensic Nurse, SVFN-C).
The Interpersonal Violence Strangulation Evaluation (IVSE-C) preparation course uses some foundational content from the GFN-C® and adds specific IVSE-C content determined as core knowledge to the sub-specialty micro certification.
So, let’s get started preparing to be successful when you take the IVSE-C certification examination!
