Phlebotomy Certification Workshop

The CVAS Phlebotomy Workshop is open to those who are at least 18 years of age, and hold a medical background. We consider a medical background to be that of:

  • Medical/Healthcare-related courses that you may have taken or are currently taking. You need not have fully completed these courses nor earned a degree/certificate/or license, in order to be eligible to attend our workshop.
  • Actual field work, on the job training, internships/externships, home health care, etc.
  • Volunteering in a medical/healthcare setting.
  • This Workshop is designed to teach the serious individual how to draw blood, from the ground up. It is a 1-day, 100% hands-on Workshop, which is held on a Saturday or Sunday, typically running for approximately 9 hours. Our Workshop does not consist of book work or written exams. Our "exams" are practical examinations. Before these practical's, all participants will be taught the proper handling, and concept of the procedure in which to be performed. You then proceed to the practice area, and finally will prove competency on our specially designed manikins and live draws. The CVAS Manikins were designed to simulate the human anticubital region (the primary area for venipuncture) as accurately as possible, all the while providing a simulated "blood return", for better understanding and reinforcement of the procedure for the participant.

    Upon successful completion of the Workshop, the participant will receive a national certification, valid in all US states*.

    *Restrictions are found in California and Louisiana, dependent solely upon your employer, as these two states have created state-specific licenses that may be required of you in order to perform Phlebotomy. Please check with your employer as to whether these restrictions may apply to you before registering with CVAS. CVAS will not be held responsible if you fail to do so, and all applicable cancellation policies and fees will be applied. Please read through our Terms and Conditions before submitting your registration.
