About Phlebotomy School

What the Site Covers

Each program shows what a future phlebotomist weighs: the credential, whether classes run on campus or hybrid and in the day, evening or on weekends, the length and hours, the externship, the certification exams the school's page names, what the price includes, and published tuition with its basis and year. 548 programs include an externship and 425 name a national exam. Guides explain how to become a phlebotomist, how the certifications compare, which states license phlebotomists, how long training takes, what it costs and what the job pays.

How Every Program Was Checked

The list starts with every institution that reported phlebotomy awards (CIP code 51.1009) to the U.S. Department of Education for 2022-23, then adds the community colleges, technical centers, career schools and hospital programs found in a state-by-state search, because much phlebotomy training is non-credit and federal data doesn't count it. A program appears only after its current pages were reviewed on the school's own website. The methodology explains every measure.

Independence and Advertising

Some pages carry sponsored listings from schools that advertise through a partner network. Each is labeled "Ad," sits apart from the research, and never changes which programs appear, their order or what the site says about them. The advertising disclosure explains how the site is funded.

Corrections

Schools change their course fees, schedules and admission rules. If a listing is out of date, send the page and a link to the school's page through the contact form, and it will be checked against the school's own pages.

He isn't a phlebotomist or a clinician, so every page is built from primary sources rather than opinion: each school's own program and tuition pages, the certifying bodies' pages, state statutes and licensing agencies, federal IPEDS completions and Bureau of Labor Statistics pay data, with the source cited on the page.
