There is no formal guide available that we know of, however Guenter recommends:

• Review the online lectures and quizzes in our LANA Prep online class. Pay close attention to the A&P and the Physician’s Lectures (including the sections on genetic syndromes, such as Turners, which are associated with lymphedema)
• Study this printable list of Synonyms and Acronyms.Synonyms and Acronyms
• Review your Lymphedema Certification student manual and notes.
• Read the LANA® Candidate Information Brochure for their suggestions and reading list.

“The value of the Klose Training LANA prep course cannot be overstated. I reviewed the physician’s lecture several times and I found it to be very helpful. Furthermore, the details of the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system are a must, and the LANA prep course goes above and beyond explaining these topics very thoroughly. I appreciate the inclusion of the synonyms and important terminology as well, because I did feel like the exam often covered topics that I knew quite well, but absolutely worded them in ways I didn’t always expect. I think it is valuable to review the regional node drainage of the face and neck, the various tissue layers of the lymphatic vessels, the anatomy of the blood capillary, and the safety features of normal edema. In my opinion, I felt that this course was necessary for me to pass the LANA certification test. I cannot thank Klose Training enough for the resources it provides its graduates to succeed.” PT, DPT, CLT-LANA (Klose Graduate from 2016)

“I reviewed all of the information in the Klose Training Lymphedema Therapy Certification course manual. I found it helpful to make notecards to help me memorize. I re-watched the anatomy, physiology, and physician’s lecture videos. I re-took all the lesson quizzes from the course. After about 3 weeks of studying I took the Klose LANA practice exams and then I reviewed the information for the questions that I got wrong. I found the practice exams VERY helpful to review the areas that I did not spend too much time studying during our course, such as head drainage areas, level of skin changes with radiation, what connective tissue is composed of, and layers of skin pertaining to where the superficial/deep vessels are located. I feel I could have studied the drainage pathways a little more, they try to trick you with some of the questions. I am SO thankful for Guenter and the time he took to make the LANA practice tests. The course material 100% prepared me for the test!”

“I took the exam a month after finishing the course so my studying was slightly different from what others might do as most things were still fresh in my mind. I went through the course manual from cover to cover. I re-did all the quizzes in the home study and the prep exams that were made available to us at the end of the course (on same site as the online home study). I also re-watched the anatomy, physiology, and physician lecture videos from the home study. I wish I had studied more of the vascular conditions/comorbidities (a lot of that on the exam). I just found the wording very different from the course material and course exams. Like I said to our instructor, they used ultrafiltration rather than filtration, which threw me off because I wasn’t sure if that was the same thing or different. The questions were very content dense, much harder than the practice exams from Guenter’s prep exams. There were no “all the above” answers. The clinical scenarios were a little vague. I had to use the full 2 hours. Overall the wording was most challenging for me on the exam, I needed to re-read each question a few times.”

“I studied for about 3 weeks by rewatching the online course videos and using the course materials only. I did not use any other books or textbooks. I focused primarily on Anatomy, Physiology and the Physician’s Lecture! I felt over prepared! One area I wish I studied more was the head and neck drainage lymph node areas.”
