Empire College has partnered with Kaiser Permanente to offer phlebotomy training leading toward certification as a California Certified Phlebotomy Technician I (CPT I). The program is approved by the State of California Department of Health Services.
Individuals who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of completion from Empire College allowing them to sit for the national certification examination. Upon passing the national examination, graduates are eligible to apply to the State for CPT I certification.
Two 5-week 30-hour classes meet Monday through Thursday from 4:00 to 5:40 p.m., following which there is a 40-hour externship (schedule will vary depending upon the externship site). In addition to the skill of drawing blood, students will examine the basic concepts of quality assurance and patient safety, as well as the legal implications of phlebotomy and legal issues related to blood collection.
