This 48-hour course is designed for individuals seeking foundational training as a Phlebotomy Technician. Students will learn the essential theory and practical skills needed to perform safe and effective blood draws in a variety of healthcare settings. Emphasis is placed on developing hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge in a supportive and flexible learning environment.

The course includes 48 hours of instruction over 10 weeks in a flexible, self-paced hybrid format. Hybrid means a combination of in-person classes and optional online hours via our Flexible Health Zoom Classroom. All skills training and exams must be completed in person, requiring weekly on-site attendance. Students work with the instructor to create a personalized schedule and may choose to complete the entire course in person if preferred

Students will practice phlebotomy techniques on mannequins in the lab. After successful completion of the course, students have the option to enroll in a Phlebotomy Practicum, which provides hands-on clinical experience in an approved healthcare setting. Participation in the practicum is subject to meeting site-specific requirements, including background screening, immunizations and documentation outlined in the clinical site agreement.

Students who complete both the course and the optional practicum may meet the eligibility requirements to pursue national certification through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Certification is optional and not included in the course. It is the student’s responsibility to research and become familiar with the specific eligibility, training, and testing requirements for either certification.
