« back to classes page
The Phlebotomy Technician program prepares students to work in a medical office, clinic or hospital lab and collect blood specimens from patients for the purpose of laboratory analysis. Topics include anatomy and physiology of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, infection control, blood collection procedures, puncture methods, specimen handling, professional workplace behavior, ethics and the legal aspects of health care. Students will gain hands-on experience in all aspects of blood collection.

To successfully complete the program and be eligible for certification, each student must participate in two clinical days (8-16 hours).  These clinical experiences are essential for obtaining the required number of successful venipunctures needed for certification eligibility. Completion of these clinical days is a program requirement and must occur prior to the conclusion of the course. Students must successfully complete thirty (30) venipunctures and ten (10) capillary sticks at the offsite clinical externship experience to demonstrate skill competency.

Upon successful completion of this program, students are eligible to sit for the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) credential exam offered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA).

Prospective students without healthcare experience are encouraged to complete an online medical terminology course or self-paced workbook prior to course.
