Phlebotomy Schools

Choosing phlebotomy training schools

When selecting phlebotomy training schools it is crucial to do due diligence checks on your list of schools. First of all, it is essential to ensure the phlebotomy program is recognized. One of the main bodies which certify phlebotomy training courses is the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). 

You can search their database for suitable phlebotomy training schools. Attending an accredited phlebotomy training program means the phlebotomist is eligible to apply for certification. Certification gives better job prospects and remuneration.

Furthermore, you need to ask for the school’s graduation rate and the percentage of graduates who obtained employment in their first year. It is often a good idea to speak to graduates and also to contact the local hospitals and doctors’ offices to see if they hire graduates from the school. Another consideration will be the fees and financial aid options available.
