Certified Phlebotomy Technician
We are proud to announce we have partnered with UCLA Center for Prehospital Care to offer Phlebotomy.
This program meets all California state requirements for students to become a California Licensed Phlebotomist (CPT1).
The program will introduce students to the field of phlebotomy and provide them with basic and advanced skills in both theory and clinical practice to prepare the students for the National Certification exam. This program is for anyone who does not have prior phlebotomy experience and those who already have on-the-job phlebotomy experience and would like to be licensed as a CPT1.
