Certification
Your Training Starts Here.National Certification Comes Next.
Completing your training with A Step Above Medical and earning national certification are separate steps. Upon successful completion of our Phlebotomy Training Course, you are eligible to take a national certification exam through NHA or NPCT.
With us
Complete the Phlebotomy Training Course
Two days of hands-on training with supervised live venipuncture practice and instruction.
Step 1 of 3With NHA or NPCT
Take the National Certification Exam
Choose your certification pathway through NHA or NPCT and complete the applicable national certification exam.
Step 2 of 3The outcome
Earn National Certification
After successfully meeting the certifying organization's requirements and passing the exam, your national certification is awarded by NHA or NPCT.
Step 3 of 3
This national certification pathway applies to the Phlebotomy Training Course, not to our IV Therapy Training Course. Upon successful completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion for the IV Therapy Training Course from A Step Above Medical. The certificate documents completion of the course and the hands-on training provided. It is not a professional license, a state or national certification, and it does not expand a student's legal scope of practice.

Questions
Before you book
Answers to the questions students ask most often. If you don't see yours here, give us a call or send us a message.
Do I need prior healthcare experience to take the Phlebotomy Training Course?
No. The Phlebotomy Training Course is appropriate for everyone, from beginners with no healthcare experience to experienced healthcare professionals who want to learn, strengthen, or refresh their venipuncture skills. Small class sizes allow the instructor to provide individual guidance based on each student’s current experience, needs, and skill level.
Are there prerequisites for the IV Therapy Training Course?
Yes. The IV Therapy Training Course is a second-level, hands-on course. Students must already have foundational venipuncture skills, including the ability to properly apply and secure a tourniquet, locate and palpate veins, and perform basic venipuncture using proper technique.
Students may meet this prerequisite by completing our Phlebotomy Training Course or through relevant hands-on experience. Prior IV insertion experience is not required.
What is the difference between the Phlebotomy Training Course and the IV Therapy Training Course?
The Phlebotomy Training Course is a two-day course that teaches foundational venipuncture skills. It covers the circulatory system, vein locations and selection, different needle types, proper tourniquet tying and placement, vein identification and palpation, patient interaction, safe sharps handling, and proper venipuncture technique. No prior healthcare or phlebotomy experience is required.
The IV Therapy Training Course is a four-hour, second-level course for healthcare professionals who already have foundational venipuncture skills. It covers vein and IV catheter selection, IV insertion and cannulation techniques, catheter securing, saline-lock preparation, fluid administration, patient assessment, troubleshooting, and recognizing and responding to potential complications.
Does the Phlebotomy Training Course prepare me for national phlebotomy certification?
Yes. The Phlebotomy Training Course provides the hands-on skills, instruction, and foundational knowledge needed to begin a national phlebotomy certification pathway through NHA or NPCT.
Completing the course does not automatically award national certification or guarantee examination eligibility. NHA and NPCT are separate certifying organizations with their own eligibility requirements, examination formats, expectations, and fees.
Students should review the Phlebotomy Certification Pathways page before selecting a certification pathway.
Will I be nationally certified after completing the Phlebotomy Training Course, or are there additional steps?
Yes. There are additional steps required to earn national certification. After successfully completing the Phlebotomy Training Course, students receive a Certificate of Completion from A Step Above Medical and can pursue national certification through NHA or NPCT. The selected certifying organization awards national certification after the student meets its requirements and passes the applicable exam.
Does the Phlebotomy Training Course tuition include the national phlebotomy certification examination?
No. Phlebotomy Training Course tuition covers the course instruction, workbook, supplies, equipment, and hands-on practice provided by A Step Above Medical.
National certification is a separate step. Course tuition does not include examination fees, which you pay directly to NHA or NPCT. Because each organization establishes its own eligibility requirements, examination process, and fees, students should confirm the current information directly with their chosen certifying organization.
