Important:

Live “sticks” will be done in the class.  Venipunctures and capillary (finger) sticks will be performed on each student in a supervised setting. These sticks will not be done during an externship. If you are uncomfortable having your blood drawn, please do not enroll in this class.

*Note: Certification as a phlebotomist is not required in Florida. However, if you desire to become certified, the cost of the examination for National Phlebotomy certification is an additional $185. You will need proof of 40 successful venipunctures in order to take the national examination. You will not meet this requirement in a 1-day class. Therefore, we highly recommend that only actively working medical professionals, who can perform venipunctures on-the-job, take our course. We have a NO REFUND policy, so please attend your class date. If you do not complete your course, we only offer this class once every other month.
