Registration for cpt is open

At a Glance

The Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) program at Saint Joseph’s College offers students to learn the skills necessary, but also to participate in hands-on and relevant learning. As part of earning their phlebotomy certificate, students are required to have successfully performed 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks on individuals. Saint Joseph’s College instructors will help in securing a location to fulfill these requirements.

Many people find adding a phlebotomy certification to their list of professional credits beneficial. Phlebotomists work in a variety of places, including health clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, and medical laboratories, and they collect blood for testing in a laboratory or donation. Phlebotomists are usually busy, taking dozens of blood samples during their daily shift; they are active, but maintain accuracy. 

Upon completion of the course, students will be eligible to sit for their CPT national certification.  The certification is through the National Healthcareers Association; the exam fee is included in the registration fee.
