Certified Phlebotomy Technicians (CPTs) are responsible for gathering blood and non-blood samples for laboratory analysis. Additionally, some phlebotomists collect blood for various other purposes, such as blood drives and donation centers, where they engage with donors to alleviate any anxiety associated with the blood collection process. Maintaining a clean, hygienic, and safe work environment is paramount to preventing infection or contamination. CPTs also undertake crucial responsibilities related to the assembly and upkeep of equipment, including needles and specimen containers.

What Makes FAMA Different
Our phlebotomy training is wholly unique in structure. The 60-hour workshop is presented in a hybrid format, starting with 40 hours of online training followed by 2 days (20 hours) of live on-campus training.
Upon completion of enrollment, you will be emailed a link to start the 40 hours of online instruction. This format is self-paced, so you can log in and out at your convenience. To test your understanding and retention, each area of study includes a quiz that you can retake as needed in order to advance to the next area of study. Learn about the phlebotomist’s indispensable role within a professional healthcare setting. This includes developing the skills and knowledge of medical terminology necessary to collaborate with medical staff, respond to the concerns of patients, and organize blood samples as per the clinic’s individual protocols and safety rules.
The online training must be completed prior to attending your first class on campus when you’ll proceed with intensive clinical training. Now the focus will turn to practical application, including a minimum of 30 actual blood draws. With individualized instructor attention every step of the way, you’ll master the skills to perform phlebotomy while adhering to best practices, i.e. infection control, the process of collecting specimens, quality assurance, and correct equipment usage and maintenance.
Florida Academy proctors the NHA CPT exam on campus. Better yet, for FAMA phlebotomy students, we waive the proctoring fee. We administered the exam within a few weeks of concluding on-campus training. Students who have successfully completed the workshop will be emailed instructions for creating an NHA account and registering to take the CPT exam. NHA CPT exams include 100 multiple-choice questions. Students have a maximum of two hours to complete the exam, and students must bring a laptop or smart device to use for internet access to the exam.
From the beginning to the end, our devoted and friendly student advisors are here to give you personalized one-on-one support and get you ready for a quick Phlebotomy journey.
