The classes required are offered in a blended format. Platform classes may be available online. Phlebotomy classes are provided as blended with some class time being provided in the actual classroom and meeting for lab at least once a week performing procedures/skill checks in person during a lab with the other class members.

The goal is to link novice health care workers to the most updated standards of phlebotomy that are basic, yet essential for safe and effective specimen collection.
The classroom will consist of 40 clock hours of training including anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system, specimen collection, specimen processing and handling, and laboratory operations including safety and quality control.
The practicum consists of at least 100 clock hours of clinical training and orientation in an accredited laboratory with a minimum performance of 100 successful unaided blood collections including venipunctures and skin punctures.
