The National Healthcareer AssociationPassing our Basic
Phlebotomy Course or EKG Technician
Course will provide you with the knowledge and experience necessary to
take the NHA's certification exam (for phlebotomy technician or EKG
technician). These exams are not a requirement for our
courses. Our classrooms are registered NHA exam sites,
allowing you to take the NHA exam at a convenient location. This
testing/certification requires a separate fee (paid to the NHA). Please
click on the NHA logo to be directed to their site for more information.
When registering, please
indicate under "test site" whether
you will be taking the exam at the Springfield classroom or the Bend
classroom.
- Eugene/Springfield students please refer to test site OR-01
- Bend students please refer to test site OR-02
The
ASCP provides an examination (the PBT) for certification of
Phlebotomists as well. The ASCP is considered the preeminent
organization for certification of laboratory personnel. The
requirements for taking the PBT exam are stricter than the NHA's
requirements, preventing new students from taking it upon graduation.
Requirement for the PBT can be found here.
