Phlebotomy Technician

As the need for cross-trained healthcare professionals increases, NTI has created the Phlebotomy Technician program. Successful students may become certified by a national exam. The program places emphasis on the safe practice of collecting adequate and correct blood specimens by capillary or venipunctures on adults, children and neonates. The program consists of classroom instruction and clinical instruction provides hands on training of the procedures to develop the skills.

Chiefly, a phlebotomist draws blood samples from patients and donors. They also label the samples and log any necessary information. This program prepares you for an entry-level job position. And a lot of Phlebotomy Technicians advance on to other advanced medical careers. Specifically, many choose to move up to Medical Assisting or Medical Laboratory Assisting because a lot of the same skills apply.

The Phlebotomy Technician program uses both classroom instruction and hands-on labs to prepare you for your day-to-day duties in the field. After the classroom instruction, you’ll begin the hands-on clinical portion of your training. And you’ll practice drawing blood samples on dummies and real people.

Phlebotomy Training Externships. An externship is a way to gain job experience while you get a feel for your new job. Particularly, you’ll see what your day-to-day work will be like.

Everyone learns differently. NTI’s Healthcare training was built to address each student’s individual learning style. Our unique blended learning format was created especially for adult learners, and offers a high degree of flexibility. This innovative and successful approach sets NTI apart from other schools. Here are just some of the benefits:

• Flexibility and Convenience - Our hybrid instruction format allows you to custom design an online participation schedule that works for YOU
• Hands-on Lab with set schedules for in-person attendance at the campus.
• Robust and Interactive Courseware hosted on the Learning Management System (LMS).

• Graduate in 2 months
• Flexible schedules
• Earn national certifications
• Job placement help after graduation

Listed below are general requirements and procedures that NTI has established for all students seeking admission. Some programs have additional requirements and other requirements, which can be found in the individual program sections of this Catalog.

Before any payment is made, all students must take part in an admissions interview with one of our Admissions Representatives. During the interview, the advisor will explain the program, determine eligibility for admission to the program, and discuss financial aid and payment options.

Hybrid Learning. Hybrid delivery means that hands on skills and some lectures are completed in person on campus. Assignments may be completed off campus (remote). Hybrid classes are designed for learners who can demonstrate they will be successful with off campus learning. Please note that Hybrid Learning is not available for those using VA benefits.

All Healthcare programs offer a flexible schedule. As part of enrollment each student must also select a Lab schedule. Lab is defined as reserved instructor time. There is mandatory in-person attendance for ~1.0 hour lecture daily within the scheduled lab time. If lecture is not attended, attendance for the entire scheduled lab period will be zero. There are multiple lab schedules for the Healthcare programs, and students may select one; labs are filled on a first come, first serve basis.

To achieve full time attendance of 25 hours per week, a student must participate in labs, attend lectures, and complete weekly assignments.

Start dates. Courses start every 5 weeks. NTI has moved away from traditional semesters; start dates and frequency are subject to change.

As a Phlebotomy Technician, you’ll spend your workday collecting blood samples, labeling samples, cleaning equipment, updating records, and much more.

Because Phlebotomists work in similar medical settings, having both skills improves how hireable you are. Specifically, you can work at hospitals, medical labs, doctor’s offices, and any other medical facilities.
