We offer two different courses, here are the details of the two.
- The National - We highly recommend the National Class for the ultimate experience in Phlebotomy. 90% of the students who train with us take the National Class. This class is a 36 hour in class program taught in at all three Wasatch Front locations. The class is set to begin on or near the first Monday of the month and runs Mon, Wed, and Fri from 6-9pm each night. The first week is open enrollment, so if you miss the first night of class, you can still come anytime during the first week and still complete the class in that month. NOTE - November and December are condensed to the first week of the month as not to conflict with the holidays. M-F for November and December. There are additional assignments, field trips and other activities you will participate in during this class.
- The Standard - This class is a 12 hour program that is taught at all three Wasatch Front locations. The Standard Class is 1 night of training in the curriculum and then you will be joining the National class for three full nights of intensive hands on blood draw training. The standard class is really meant for individuals who just want Pre-Med or Pre-Nursing school hours to add to a medical school or nursing school application to get accepted. Or for individuals who have been drawing blood forever and just need a their skills fine tuned and then a certificate showing that they are certified.Each class is from 6-9 pm.
