Phlebotomy

Program Details

The Phlebotomy program is where future Phlebotomists can get their comprehensive training at affordable rates. The Phlebotomist of today assists in clinical or laboratory settings to obtain blood samples as ordered by the physician or other qualified healthcare practitioners for diagnostic purposes. Our program is aimed at producing skillful Phlebotomy Technicians who perform delegated duties within the scope of phlebotomy practice as defined by the American Society of Pathologists (ASCP), National Health Association (NHA), and National Association for Health Professionals (NAHP).

As Phlebotomy Technicians, students will need to improve on dexterity and communication skills. Students will also be coached in proper blood draws from clients, interpreting blood drawing orders from physicians, laboratory specimen handling protocol, and other essential topics related to the Phlebotomy profession. The Phlebotomy program is a 90-clock hour program that is completed in five (5) weeks for day class and eight (8) weeks for the evening class. Upon completion of the Phlebotomy Program, the student will be awarded a Certificate of Completion in Phlebotomy and will be ready to take the National Certification Exam for Phlebotomy (CPT) through the National Healthcare Association (NHA). The application and examination fee for the National Certification Exam is not included in the cost of tuition.

The Phlebotomy course includes practical, hands-on training through the use of demonstration and skills practice. Students will be required to practice on each other to gain real-world experience. Course Topics covered include but are not limited to:
