The Phlebotomy Training CenterEstablished 1984
Over 35 years of experience teaching phlebotomy. Our graduates are equipped with the skills to start an exciting and rewarding career. No one trains you in phlebotomy like The Phlebotomy Training Center!
The oldest phlebotomy school in the nation is still the most affordable
Our 60-hour phlebotomy program offers 30 hours of in-person classroom training plus 30 hours of in-person clinical practice (a real work week at a hospital or lab). The classes are conveniently structured so that each student attends two evening classes per week for one month followed by 30 hours of daytime clinical practice. After successful completion of the program, the student is awarded their diploma.
Our school is proud to be affiliated with over 18 hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, where our students receive their clinical experience, including UPMC, Allegheny Health Network, Excella Health, Heritage Valley, and others. Many students, even those who come from distant locations and out of state, are able to attend their clinical portion in their local community.
The student's entire clinical practice can be completed in just four, eight-hour clinical days. Our students truly love and enjoy every moment of their short but exciting clinicals where they can apply the skills they just learned in class. Students cherish the gratitude expressed by their patients on a job well done!

“I am a former Student of this program who just graduated in May 2016. I found this school to be amazing in helping me achieve my certification and pursue my career as a phlebotomist. The founder/professor of this school, Michael, and his staff are phenomenal. Michael is very professional to his students and is willing to go out of his way to help in anyway that he can. Also The Phlebotomy Training Center is a creditable school to all employers. I did my clinical at St. Margaret’s UPMC Hospital and got offered a full time job right off the bat. Michael gave me all the skills I needed to preform my job as a phlebotomist!”
Chianne OStudent“I was offered a position multiple times and was told I was one of the best students they ever had. It made me happy that I was able to give them a good representation of both myself and my school.”
L.S.Student
“Today I also met a woman who took the class at The Phlebotomy Training Center in the 90’s, so it was fun to see what things we did the same and what we did different. All in all my clinicals were very successful in my opinion and I loved every moment of it, I think I will be very happy with this career path that I have chosen.”
E.E.Student“This school was one of the most professional, talented, and educated schools I have ever attended. Professor Michael and his assistants couldn’t have done it any better than they did. Not only do they teach all you need to know but they also work with building your confidence when performing venipuncture as one will experience the nervousness and fear when starting out. Know that you will not only gain book knowledge, but also physical knowledge. You WILL learn all you need to know and then some. It was a cool and fun experience. You won’t regret it if this is something you have interest in.”
