Testimonials
I’ll admit, when I saw the signs in town, and saw that the course was only two days, I was skeptical. How could they possibly teach us phlebotomy in two days? By being awesome, that’s how. I currently work in a medical setting, so not being able to do blood draws in the office was a disappointment to our patients, and my self-esteem. This class was full of useful information, as well as helpful tips and tricks for the practical setting. They do a great job of getting you ready for the hands on portion, so by the time you’re ready for your first “real” stick, you already feel like a pro. Since doing the class November 11th & 12th, I’ve already done over 30 sticks, with many patients complimenting me on how quick, easy, and painless it was. Stepping Stone really sets you up for success, and I recommend it for anyone who is looking to learn a new skill.
I must admit that when I saw that this class was 2 days I did my research. I called them and the NHA to make sure if I took this class I could sit for the exam. The NHA said the class was legit and that if I took the class I could take the test. I went to the class and was nervous because how could I learn everything in 2 days. The instructors are AWESOME and answer every question you have. I am now a Nationally Certified Phlebotomist and working at a plasma center. I got the job before I took my national test now I will get a raise since I took the test. Thank you for helping with my new career as a phlebotomist.
As an RN and Duke alumni, the quality of the training is top notch. Value for your time and money!Highly recommended.
For anyone looking into a phlebotomy course, I highly recommend Stepping Stone! Not only was the class very informative but the hands on experience was super helpful. After completing the course, I felt very comfortable and confident in my training. Not only did I learn, but I also had a lot of laughs and made some good friends!
