Phlebotomy Technician Program at Charity Institute of Careers

Hello future Phlebotomy Technicians! Our program is here to launch you into an exciting career in the medical field, with a special focus on the art and science of phlebotomy.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The A-Z of basic phlebotomy (we're talking blood sample collection and keeping track of those all-important blood tests).
• Understanding of the human body (don't worry, we make it interesting).
• Special procedures and blood collection methods (yes, there's more than one way to draw blood).
• Quality assurance, legal issues, and infection control (because safety first, always).
• Mastering medical terminology (you'll be speaking the language in no time).
• Handling and operating blood collection equipment like a pro.
• Navigating computers and specimen handling (we got you covered).

The cool part is that you get to use your newfound skills in real-life labs every other week. Plus, there's a two-week in-person hospital clinical at the end. After all that, you'll be set to take the NHA exam to become a certified Phlebotomy Technician. Let's get started!

What's This About?

• The Nurse Aide Training Programs (NATP) trains folks for long term care facilities and hospital-based skilled nursing units.

• Complete the evaluations, and you get added to the Louisiana Nurse Aide Registry. Sweet, right?

The Basics:

• Full-time commitment: 2 weeks. Yup, it's all in-person!

• You don't need a diploma, GED, or any entrance exam to join. We keep it simple.

Some Need-to-Knows:

• A background check is a must, and it'll set you back $35.

• Registration? That's $150.

• Once you're done, there's a $125 Prometric Exam Fee. You can pay that whenever you want after finishing up.

How Can I Pay?

• We got a payment plan: Half on the first day, half by the fifth day.
