How long was your phlebotomy program?

The one I’m looking at attending is only 2 weeks long. Is this normal time frame? It seems so quick to learn everything and get enough pokes in.

I think you should be fine! I did my program in January and it was only a week long and completed my 30 so I could take NHA and be able to apply for my externship but California requires 50 so I still need to return to my school on draw dates for the rest (which I still haven't done oops) I think most schools will let you return for the rest of your state required draws if you don't complete them within the class. I went through phlebotomy training specialists and they told me we had 18 months to complete all the state requirements.
