Course Information
BC3's Phlebotomy Certification Training instructs students on the correct method of performing capillary and venipuncture techniques that are used to collect blood specimens for diagnostic testing.  The student will be able to utilize and explain the purpose of the various equipment including the safety equipment.  In addition, the student will be familiar in the use of the correct terminology regarding capillary puncture, venipuncture, safety, and vacutainer blood collection.

The program consists of two portions, a classroom and a clinical portion.  The classroom portion is six weeks long, consisting of two four-hour sessions per week held at Butler Memorial Hospital.  In the clinical portion, students are required to complete up to 100 clinical hours within a 90-day time frame.  Students must complete the classroom with a minimum grade of 75% to advance to the clinical portion.  All clinical students will need to obtain an 85% or better success rate with hands on procedures to receive their certificate of completion.  Due to the length of the program, attendance at all sessions is highly recommended.

Upon completion of the program, the student will be eligible to take the National Phlebotomy Certification Examination if desired. Tuition does not include National Examination fee.
