Phlebotomy

Phlebotomy Exam Prep

This workshop is 80 hours in length and includes all supplies, training materials, and your exam fees. Does not include National Certification Exam. You will receive nationally accredited phlebotomy certification upon successful completion of the exam. The class sizes are small and fill up fast, so sign up as soon as possible. This class includes a canvas app invitation to do work at home on your own schedule, a book with chapter quiz answers, and study guides. Clinical week is the 3rd week of class, Monday – Thursday, from 4 to 6 pm and is the only in-person portion of this class except taking your national exam.

Potential employment opportunities for certified phlebotomists include Laboratories, Health Clinics, Research Clinics, Nursing Homes, Doctor offices, Veterinary clinics, and Employment Screening Labs

Classes must have a minimum of 8 students and are subject to being canceled if this minimum is not met.

Prerequisites

You must be 18 years of age, a high school graduate, or hold a GED and pass a background check (most facilities will require you to pass one).

Textbooks Requirements

We purchase the book and mail it to the student. The cost is included in the checkout price. There are no additional cost for textbooks.

 

Financial Assistance & Loans

Arrange for your financial assistance before applying for the program. Express Training Services cannot currently accept federal financial assistance (this would include Pell Grants). There are multiple other places where student loans can be arranged. Express Training is in the process of finding other student loan sources and they will be added as they are found. We do not recommend any loan source over another source. Keep checking the website to see if any loan sources have been added.

Most people who take this class will arrange for an in-house loan.  Here are some different options to pay the $950 in tuition:

  1. Pay the entire $950 at once (our favorite).
  2. Deposit of $100 upon signing up, $300 the first week of class, with the balance paid by the first day of clinicals.
  3. Make equal weekly payments, with the balance paid by the first day of clinicals.

Regardless of which option you choose, the loan must be repaid before you are allowed to graduate. It is very important to understand that these are “loans” and not grants. The loan must be repaid during the first day of the clinical week.

Warning
Live “sticks” will be done in the class. These sticks include venipunctures and capillary sticks. These sticks will not be done during an externship but will be done on fellow students and yourself in a very supervised setting. If you are uncomfortable having someone draw your blood, please do not enroll in this class.

Contact us if you have questions.
