1. Basic Intravenous Therapy (IVT) Training
Intravenous Therapy (IVT) training is primarily designed to ensure safe practice in intravenous therapy to
uphold the quality of nursing practice.
2. Participants in IVT Training
- Registered Nurses, with valid and current PRC license card or Certificate of Board Ratingfor new
nurses;
- Certified IV Therapists who were not able to renew their IV Therapy card for more than five (5) years
from date of issuance;
- Previously-trained RNs who were not able to accomplish the required IV injections within three (3)
months from the date of their last training;
- Non-nursing health related professionals and technicians (MD, Post-graduate Medical Interns, Medical
Technologists, Pulmo-tech, Registered Midwife) may attend the Association of Nursing Service
Administrators of the Philippines (ANSAP) IVT Training program for nurses including the practicum.
They will not be required to accomplish the required IV injections. They will not be issued an IVT license
card but will be issued a Certificate of Attendance to the Training Program.
- Non-health related professionals are not eligible to attend the ANSAP IVT training program.
3. RNs are required by the law to be a certified IV therapist
The Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (R.A. 9173) stipulates that the administration of parenteral injection
is in the scope of nursing practice. ANSAP believes that the certification of IV therapist will be continued
for several reason, paramount of which is safe nursing practice.
Moreover, an RN must enroll in IV therapy training because most government and private hospitals
prefer RNs who are IV therapy-certified.
4. Training at ANSAP-accredited IVT Training hospital or provider
An RN should enroll in an ANSAP-accredited IVT training hospital or provider because ANSAP is the
nursing organization mandated to administer and accredit basic IVT training for nurses.
Refer to the following documents for more information:
PRC-BON Resolution No. 8 Series of 1994 (Special Training for Nurses on Intravenous Injection);
and
PRC-BON Protocol Governing Special Training on Administration of Intravenous Injections for
Nurses
5. Registering for IVT training
An RN can register for IVT training in any ANSAP-accredited hospital or provider which offers basic IVT

training. It is your responsibility to verify with ANSAP if the hospital/provider that you want to train for
is accredited by them to conduct IVT training.
Registration and/or reserving a slot for IVT training depends on the ANSAP-accredited hospital/provider.
It could be through personal visit, phone call, text message or online registration.
Admin note: You can view a list of ANSAP-Accredited Hospitals Conducting Basic Intravenous Therapy
(IVT) Training here.
6. Number of participants per IVT training session
IVT training providers are advised by ANSAP that the number of participants should be limited to not
more than 50, unless there are enough IVT training preceptors to conduct their individual return
demonstration.

a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree;
a registered professional nurse (RN), with a current license from the Professional Regulation
Commission (PRC) or Certificate of Board Rating for new nurses.

9. IVT training fee
The IVT Training fee could cost as low as Php 1,500 or as high as Php 3,500. The variation in the fees
depends on the hospital’s/provider’s calculation of the costs for the use of venue, supplies, honoraria
for facilitators, coordinators, speakers, lecturers and preceptors as well as lunch and snacks for the
participants.
10. The 3-day basic IVT training
The 3-day basic IVT training are the lecture and demonstration days. During this period, the following

2 cases of administering and maintaining blood and blood components.
An RN must be able to complete and submit this 3+3+2 IVT case requirement to the ANSAP officewithin

in the hospital where he/she underwent IVT training;

16. Filing for IVT license card, requirements and processing fee
The successful participant of the basic IVT training must submit to the ANSAP office or the hospital

by the time you are done with your IVT Training and completion of requirements, you already
have claimed your PRC license card.)
