Become a Certified Phlebotomist in 6 Weeks
Our accelerated timeline takes you from classroom to clinic fast. You master venipuncture, capillary draws, specimen handling, and patient care in structured, hands-on lab sessions, inside one hybrid program that launches your career as a phlebotomy technician.
How the Hybrid Program Works
Our Phlebotomy program is hybrid: online flexibility plus hands-on, in-person labs. A typical week blends about 2 days of live Zoom classes, 2 days of in-person training in Orlando, and 1 self-paced day. Prefer weekends? The 12-week Saturday track alternates between live Zoom and on-campus Saturdays.
Live Online (Zoom)
Join certified instructors in real time from home for lectures and guided learning, typically a couple of days each week, always at your same class schedule time.
Hands-On In Person
Practice the skills employers test for: venipuncture, capillary draws, specimen labeling, and patient care. You can't learn to draw blood through a screen, so you start on the practice arm, then draw real people, supervised, until it is muscle memory.
Self-Paced Online
Work through online coursework on your own schedule, generally about one day a week, so the program fits around your life.
Schedules stay flexible and may change. The day-split above is typical, not guaranteed.
What You'll Learn as a Phlebotomist
You'll gain the exact skills employers test for: venipuncture, capillary draws, specimen handling and labeling, and compassionate patient care. Built around real-world scenarios, the curriculum mirrors the complete phlebotomist job description: what phlebotomists do every day in hospitals, labs, clinics, and blood-donation centers.
Patient Care
Put patients at ease, verify identity, and guide them through the draw with confidence and care.
Venipuncture & Draws
Perform venipuncture and capillary draws, select the right site and equipment, and collect quality specimens.
Sample Handling
Label, process, and transport specimens for tests like blood typing, occult blood, and urinalysis, following proper protocols.
Class Schedules
You pick ONE schedule, and that is your only class time. Both the live Zoom sessions and the in-person training happen inside that same time block, so the rest of your day stays free for work, family, and everything else. Availability varies by track.

What Happens on Your Call
It starts with one free 30-minute call with an academic advisor: a conversation about your career and whether this program is the right next step for you. Here is exactly how it goes.
1. Book a Time That Fits
Picking your time takes 30 seconds, and you can reschedule anytime. Before work, on a lunch break, or after drop-off. Whatever works for your day.
2. Talk With Your Advisor
Your advisor gets to know you and your career goals, then gives you guidance on your next step: whether phlebotomy, or another of our programs, fits where you want to go, plus your schedule option, your exact total cost and payment options, and your start date.
3. Decide With Everything in Front of You
If the program is a fit, your advisor completes your enrollment and reserves your seat on the same call. If it is not, you leave with a career action plan anyway.
You get real answers either way. No pressure, no obligation.

Is It Still Possible for Someone Like You?
Have you ever thought: "I'm too old for this." "I was never good at school." "What if I can't handle the needle?"
Most of our students thought something like that before they started. They were working retail, restaurants, and warehouses. Many were parents. Almost none had healthcare experience.
Then they took the step you are considering right now and enrolled. They kept their jobs while they trained on morning, evening, or Saturday schedules, started on the practice arm before ever drawing a real person, and 83% passed their national certification exam on the first attempt.
Others were younger, still in college or on their way to nursing school, and wanted a better-paying job that also built their resume. Getting certified in a few weeks let them work a higher-paying healthcare job instead of an entry-level one, and gain real patient experience while they kept studying.
You are not starting over. You are building on the caring you already do for the people around you. In 6 weeks, that becomes a certification, scrubs, and a paycheck you can count on.
We can't wait to welcome you to our academy.
