🚀 COURSE CONTENT
Our Level 3 Phlebotomy Qualification is one of the most comprehensive phlebotomy training programmes available in the UK.
Recognised by Ofqual as a Level 3 Award and certificated by NOCN, this qualification is nationally recognised and regarded as a gold-standard entry route into professional phlebotomy roles.
Delivered over 6 weeks, the course blends in-depth theory with extensive real-world clinical experience – far beyond what most short courses can offer. You’ll cover:
🩸 Roles & responsibilities of a professional phlebotomist
🩸 Infection control, consent, patient care & safety
🩸 Equipment selection & best-practice techniques
🩸 Managing difficult veins & patient anxiety
🩸 Real-world clinical workflows and professionalism
🩸 Preparing for employment or independent practice
Across 6 in-person sessions, you’ll complete:
✔ 18 hours of clinic shadowing in a live London clinic
✔ 18+ hours of theory and practical training
✔ At least 10 live blood draws
✔ Competency sign-off and work-experience reference
This course is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real clinical practice – so you don’t just know how to take blood, you’re confident doing it.
👩⚕️ WHO IS IT FOR?
This course is ideal for:
🧑⚕️ Complete beginners starting a healthcare career
🩺 Career changers seeking a recognised qualification
💼 Those applying for NHS, private clinic or laboratory roles
🏥 Individuals planning to run their own clinic or wellness service
It’s also particularly well-suited to:
🏋️ Personal trainers
🌿 Nutritional therapists
🦴 Osteopaths & acupuncturists
💇 Trichologists & wellness practitioners
By the end of the programme, you’ll have the knowledge, confidence, and documented competence many employers expect – and the practical experience that sets you apart from other applicants.
🏥 CLINICAL EXPERIENCE (WHAT SETS THIS COURSE APART)
What truly makes this course exceptional is the live clinical shadowing.
You’ll train in an established London clinic, observing and participating in real patient appointments under supervision. This exposure:
✔ Builds real confidence
✔ Reinforces safe, professional practice
✔ Helps you transition smoothly into employment
✔ Gives you an advantage when applying for roles
You’ll also receive:
📄 A competency sign-off
📄 A work-experience reference
– both highly valued by employers.
