Accelerated Phlebotomy Technician Certificate Program
PT21 - 202212
Due to the high volume of interest and limited clinical site locations for the Phlebotomy certificate program, we will not be accepting new students at this time. This is only temporary. Please check back on our website for updates. We apologize for the inconvenience but we also encourage students to research all of our healthcare programs, particularly the Medical Assisting program which also trains students on the skill of drawing blood.
Program Description
The Phlebotomy Technician technical certificate of credit educates students to collect and process blood and body fluids. Phlebotomy technicians typically work in concert with clinical laboratory personnel and other healthcare providers in hospitals or other healthcare facilities. Topics covered include human anatomy, anatomical terminology, venipuncture, and clinical practice.
Program Specific Information
Students seeking admission to the Accelerated Phlebotomy program must be fully admitted to the college and considered program ready. Students must be 18 years of age by the start of the program to enroll in the PHLT courses.
Students are accepted every semester based on course availability. Class selection is on a first come first serve bases. Clinical sites are limited and therefore, the PHLT classes are as well.
Students must complete all PHLT coursework with a grade of C or better.

Students will have to provide immunization records, complete a Background Check and Drug Screen (approx. $99), purchase ACEMAPP (approx. $50), and provide a current BLS Provider CPR card. Students will not be assigned to a clinical site unless these requirements have been met by the assigned due date. Clinical requirements can and do change without notice or input from Lanier Technical College.
