Prepare for a career as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT).
This phlebotomy course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to draw blood safely and effectively from patients for diagnostic purposes. The course includes both classroom instruction and hands-on training in a mock clinical setting. Topics covered include anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system, medical terminology related to phlebotomy, infection control and safety procedures, patient identification and communication skills, types of blood collection equipment and their uses, venipuncture techniques, capillary puncture techniques, special considerations for pediatric and geriatric patients, handling and processing of blood specimens, and quality control and assurance in phlebotomy. 

Course material will be delivered through class lecture, lab, and online assignments. Upon completion of course, along with required venipunctures and capillary or finger sticks, students will be eligible to sit for the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) certification exam through the National Healthcare Association (NHA). WTCE Staff will contact students to schedule the exam.

To register, students must be 18 or older and submit proof of:
