This training is generally divided into coursework sections of two where a student will need to complete non technical coursework of up to forty hours. This includes science training while the next section of forty hours includes the actual clinical training.

There are some online certification programs that offer valuable learning experiences as well as the chance to gain clinical experience in a lab or clinic near you. Hands on experience should always be a part of any quality certification program, and when you are able to find a course that enables you to learn how to physically draw blood, handle samples and specimens, and perform vital first aid measures, you will find that you are much better prepared to enter into your job search.

It explores essentials in phlebotomy with an emphasis on the equipment, techniques and the common laboratory tests.
