As much as I enjoyed the class, it wasnt as detailed as the brochure says. Our first lesson was outside because they forgot they were booked for the room.And the last day we were allowed to practice as much as possible till closed, but they closed early to go home. Pretty rushed. It would have been worth the money If it wasnt so rushed, questions answered, and going over things.But over all it was an interesting experience.

Very good class an affordable!! Instructors were great! Wish we would of learned more of the things you need to know as a phlebotomist ( like the color of tubes and what they mean an so on ). The down side is my class didn’t have very many people wanting to get poked , an the last day we had our class everyone didn’t want to practice so they took their hands on test and left. Didn’t get very many pokes in so it’s been very difficult to find a job.Overall would recommend !

Post as a prospective student: do you have to apply? Do I need to have any prior knowledge to do this? Would I be eligible for entry-level jobs after this?

The course is focused and thorough. Kyle is a very good teacher with vast experience, who clearly communicates theoretical and practical knowledge. He observes carefully to confirm that students blood draws are safe. The handbook had some inaccuracies, however.

The instructor is very experienced and a well sized class. If you want good hands on training I recommend Texas phlebotomy school.

Kyle was our teacher for this class & he was great! He is very knowledgeable & personable & has a lot of hands on experience. I felt confident in my abilities after having him as my teacher. Thank you!

This phlebotomy school is great. You get to draw blood the first day and every day that your there. Great size classes for beginners. Best priced.

Very hands on and small class size. The price is affordable in comparison to other phlebotomy courses. Insightful and approachable instructor.

I don’t have a review, but a question as a potential student. If. Take this course will it allow me to do phlebotomy skills in Washington state?

I attended the IV class and was not very happy with it. To start, the building was locked and you need to call them to be let in. This is not a new thing for them, as I was told after I got there that the building is locked every Saturday, yet there was no prior notice of this. They know that everyone coming for the Saturday class will have to be let in and they should have sent an email letting us know beforehand. Once there, we watched a 20 minute video (if that) on IV insertion which should probably be updated since it stated to cleanse the skin for only 5 seconds before puncture, which is insufficient time to achieve proper cell kill. We were then let loose to practice on the mannequin arms. There was barely any instruction. I was expecting more than that, like some tips for difficult sticks. When it came time to stick each other, there was nothing available for hand hygiene. Best practice and standard precautions are to wash your hands before putting on gloves to perform any patient care, especially something involving body fluids/blood like a venipuncture, but there wasn’t even hand sanitizer (which costs a whole $1) in the room. Luckily, I had some in my car and left to get it. This is an instructional environment. Even if in the “real world” or in trauma cases (the reasoning that was given by the instructor) some protocol goes out the window, there is no reason for that to be the case when we are learning the skill to begin with. It’s simply bad practice. Additionally, 1hr of the 4hr class was dedicated to eating lunch, which is an absurd waste of time. Just skip the lunch break and make the class 3hr. And if you’re going to have a lunch break, which dirties everyone’s hands, have all the students wash before resuming practice. Overall, awful. Don’t waste your money people.Edit: Your rebuttal is uncouth, chimerical, and doesnt accurately address my criticisms. You refute the video by stating it mentioned, allow to dry for 30 seconds yet the issue is the time spent actually cleaning the site, which was stated as 5 seconds. People were not required nor instructed to perform hand hygiene before sticking fellow classmates. Even if they had been told to do so, there are numerous fomites between the bathroom and the classroom that would have rendered the hand washing moot. If you are out of hand sanitizer, go buy some. This class was not a surprise and adequate material should have been obtained beforehand, especially something related to infection prevention. If the class did not have a 1 hour lunch break, it would have only been 3 hours, not 4-5 hours in the middle of the day without food as you state. Your defensive and sophomoric response only serves to further my point of how unprofessional this business is.

Kyle is the best instructor!
