how can i become a PHLEBOTOMIST here in the Phil?

Lyfer, LPN · Jan 18, 2011

I think Philippine Women's University offers a Phlebotomy Course..but I'm not sure if all health/medical related professions can avail the program.

Better inquire at their institution for verification.

agrees with Lyfer

PWU offers a TESDA accredited phlebotomy program. Of course you need to finish TESDA requirements to finally have the license (yes, phlebotomist do have a license card pretty much similar to what nurses have)

I believe TESDA requires you to have at least 300hours (correct me if I'm wrong) of lab hours for the license.

I have a friend who is also a licensed phlebotomist that why I know. ;-)

Thanks for the additional info lactamase.

I am also planning to enroll in phlebotomy training. I inquired at PWU, but that was i think a year ago. They said the training is for 1 month, enrollment fee is 7k?

I'm not sure if there has been any changes made.

I do know someone who worked as a phlebotomist in PNRC. He is a nurse and has IVT training too. Perhaps you could try asking your PNRC chapter. Good luck!

its been a year since i made a post and to my surprise, im quite overwhelmed with the replies... thanks collegues... hope this helps, i also got to see the website of PWU, they do offer a phlebotomy training.. but when i inquired, some guy told me that the start of training depends on how many would register for the program; likewise, there's no definite "starting date" for the said training... :redpinkhe:nurse::redpinkhe

gosh! My first time to see the thread. Actually, i had my phlebotomy training last week ,October 05, 2011 in one of the hospitals here in cebu. The fee was only 200pesos. Inclusive to it was snacks, materials for return demo, certificate of attendance and certificate of completion. By the way,to be able to get the certificate of completion is a requirement to comply the 5cases of extracting blood from adults for CBC exam.
