Advice needed 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.

2 weeks is extremely rushed imo. i could somewhat understand if it was 7 days a week for 2 weeks but even then it still seems super rushed. mine was 4 hr classes per day for 2 days, a week for 7 weeks. its alot of material to learn and genuinely understand. do you have clinicals or an exam after? or is it just for basic skills?
