What You’ll Learn – HI 6100 Phlebotomy Technician
Phlebotomy careers are projected to grow by 24.3% over the next decade, making now the perfect time to start your journey toward becoming a vital member of the healthcare team.
Amara’s Phlebotomy Certification Program is structured around three courses: Professionalism in Allied Health, Introduction to Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology, and Phlebotomy. In many medical and diagnostic laboratories, the phlebotomist may be the primary point of patient interaction, offering a unique opportunity to create a positive and supportive patient experience. For this reason, customer service and professionalism are emphasized throughout the program.
Although learning phlebotomy online may seem unconventional, Amara’s tech-enabled, immersive training replicates real-world practice through high-quality simulations, 3D animations, and the 12 Elements of eLearning model. Students will gain hands-on knowledge of proper blood draw procedures, maintaining a sterile and safe work environment, and managing essential equipment such as needles and specimen containers.
Upon completion, graduates will be prepared to take the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) and begin their careers in healthcare.
🔹 Exam Eligibility Note: While clinical requirements are not mandatory for completing Amara’s Phlebotomy Technician program, the CPT certification requires hands-on training. Students are strongly encouraged to review local job postings and state-specific requirements to ensure eligibility for certification and employment opportunities. Employers may also set their own prerequisites for education, experience, or certification.
