Description
This 1-day course, otherwise known as the Advanced Course, is delivered in Derby and will take your phlebotomy career to the next level.
It is the only advanced phlebotomy course in the country accredited by a nationally recognised awarding body, the NCFE, which ensures the quality of the teaching and assessment, making it a valuable asset on your CV.
This course is perfect for phlebotomists that have been practicing for a while, and would like to learn new skills and techniques. It is also perfect for total beginners who would like to complete the course immediately after their introductory course, to give them a real leg up at the start of their career as a phlebotomist.
The course teaches one unit during one day of practical work:
- Unit 4: Applying Advanced Phlebotomy Practices and Techniques
During the day, you will cover:
- Inserting an intravenous cannula;
- Collecting blood cultures;
- Using the Aspiration System;
- Using a butterfly needle;
- Using a needle and syringe;
- Working with the veins in the back of the hand;
- Working with the veins in the foot;
- More advanced blood tests and vacutainer combinations.
As well as having the opportunity to mix with other phlebotomists and share stories, tips and tricks.
You will receive your fully accredited certificate, to add to your units 1, 2 & 3 certificates, within 1 month at the end of the course.
The award is a level 3 qualification, so it is deemed to be of a similar difficulty to A Levels. It adds an extra, optional unit to the standard Phlebotomy Practices & Techniques course, so it is essential that you have completed this course, and attained the mandatory units, first.
If you have no prior experience, you can book onto our Level 3 Award: Introduction to Phlebotomy Practices & Techniques course, you can even make a long weekend of it by combining the introductory and advanced courses into a 3-day course.
If you have prior experience, it may not be necessary to complete the whole introductory course, and our refresher course may suffice.
So, if you have already completed one of our Introductory or Refresher Courses, you can book onto this course for the standard price of £245 plus VAT.
If you have not completed one of these courses before, but already have previous experience, you will need to book onto a Refresher Course for an additional £195 plus VAT (total £440 plus VAT ).
