Phlebotomy Technician

Ideal for

Phlebotomy Technicians must enjoy working with people, work well under pressure, be attentive to detail and have excellent manual dexterity. To be successful, you should also feel comfortable using a computer and have an aptitude for other high-tech devices. There is both an art and a science necessary to the profession.

Program Overview

The phlebotomy technician program at NVCC provides the student with 120 hours of classroom instruction, simulated lab experience, and the clinical validation opportunities needed to meet the growing demands of the role of the phlebotomy technician. You will not need to find your own clinical site. Our program coordinator will schedule your clinical experience at one of our partner facilities.

After successful completion of the program you will be eligible to sit for the Phlebotomy Technician Certification exam given by the National Healthcareer Association.

After providing documentation and completing the disability disclosure process, students are then encouraged to meet with their instructor(s) to discuss the adjustments approved by the appropriate disabilities contact and to complete the Adjustments Agreement form. Students are therefore encouraged to meet with the Disabilities Counselor and their instructor(s) at the beginning of each semester. Adjustments are not retroactive. Instructors, in conjunction with appropriate college personnel, will provide assistance and/or adjustments only to those students who have completed the disability disclosure and academic adjustments process.
