Red Rocks Community College Phlebotomy School Lakewood, Colorado

Red Rocks Community College’s Phlebotomy Certificate program is a focused, one-semester program designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel as phlebotomists. The curriculum emphasizes practical, hands-on training in essential techniques such as venipuncture, point-of-care testing, and fundamental laboratory protocols. A key component of the program is a 135-hour internship, providing real-world experience in a healthcare setting. Upon successful completion of the required coursework and internship, graduates are eligible to sit for the American Medical Technologists (AMT) national certification exam. Achieving certification as a Registered Phlebotomy Technician (RPT) demonstrates competency and enhances employment prospects. This program requires a background check, health/drug screen, and proof of immunizations to ensure student safety and readiness for clinical environments. Students should plan to dedicate a significant portion of their time to the internship during the final weeks of the semester.
