How can I find a phlebotomy training course in my area?
Asked by Dustin Y
None of the colleges or technical schools in my area provide phlebotomy training. Only one college in the entire state provides a certificate =/. How should I go about finding a training course? I mostly want to use this program as a stepping stone for clinical laboratory science, which is my current degree goal. Thanks

Best Answer:
Most training courses are sponsored and taught at local hospitals I became a certified phlebotomist through a course the hospital directed. I had to take the TABE test at the local community college and I had to score a 12 or above to be eligible. I had to apply at the hospital with my test score and high school diploma. The course was ten weeks and upon completion, I was hired on at the hospital for one year. After we had racked up our experience hours, we were eligible for certification. It may not be the same everywhere, but try calling hospitals or clinics in your area. They should have some information.

Go to school to be a nurse and they have to teach you how to give shots and draw blood.

In my local area, phlebotomy is one of the career certificate courses (along with CNA) that is offered by the city's Adult Education program. Maybe your city offers it thru adult education too?
