Before you enroll

What a phlebotomist needs before the first real patient

Employers and the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) look for the same two things: documented successful draws and a program that taught safety the way OSHA, CDC and CLSI standards describe it. Stone Academy's program is built around both, with 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks required before you finish.

Graduates work in hospitals, laboratories, plasma and dialysis centers, clinics, mobile labs and home health. The program also includes an exam overview workshop and resume and interview coaching.

From first visit to certification

  1. 01
    Tour and interview

    Visit the Race Street campus, meet admissions and bring your ID, Social Security card and proof of schooling (or take the short reading test).

  2. 02
    Enroll and pay

    Sign the enrollment agreement and pay the registration fee. Tuition can be paid in full or on a payment plan.

  3. 03
    Learn, then draw

    Foundations, safety and professional practice online and in class, then lab practice until your 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks are signed off.

  4. 04
    Sit for the NHA CPT exam

    The last subject is an exam overview workshop. Book the exam when you are ready; enrolled students may practice in our lab first.

Questions

Good to know

Still unsure? Call the office at (817) 953-2431, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM.
How much does it cost in total?

$2,550 in total: $1,900 tuition, $100 registration and $550 for books and supplies. Not included: the NHA CPT exam ($134), paid to the NHA.

Can I get help paying?

Yes. Moving Stones, our nonprofit partner, helps qualified students pay for training; check if you qualify on their site before you enroll. The school also offers payment plans.

What do I need to enroll?

A tour and interview with admissions, a current photo ID and your signed Social Security card (or ITIN), and proof of a high school diploma, GED, college transcript or 8th grade. If you cannot show proof of schooling, you take a short reading test (CASAS or TABE) instead. You must be 17 by graduation day; under 18 needs a parent's written permission.

How many draws will I do?

At least 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks, in class lab and, if you choose the optional externship, on real patients. The school encourages 20 clinical hours on top of class lab.

Is the NHA exam taken at the school?

Stone Academy prepares you with an exam overview workshop and lab time. You book and pay for the exam through the NHA; the school can tell you where to test.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, the school offers payment plans; ask admissions for the schedule. A plan must be paid in full before you receive your certificate and sit for the certification exam. A $50 administration fee is kept if you cancel after enrolling.

Does the school help with jobs?

Job placement help is free for every graduate with a Certificate of Completion: employer job fairs, posted openings and referrals through our partner employers. Like every school, we cannot guarantee a job.

Classes start every month

Enroll online, or call the office to book a tour first. Monday to Friday, 9 to 3, at 2909 Race Street, Fort Worth.
