MCC Phlebotomy Technician — NHA Certification (4 Months, $2,250 + Exam Fee)

About This Opportunity

Phlebotomists are healthcare workers trained to draw blood from patients for lab tests, transfusions, donations, and research — a skill required in every hospital, clinic, doctor's office, and blood bank in the metro. MCC's Phlebotomy Technician program through its Workforce Education division is one of the most direct, fastest certification pathways available: four months, fully in-person, leading to the NHA Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) credential — the nationally recognized certification that employers in this field require. Total cost is $2,250, which includes books and supplies. The NHA certification exam is an additional $117. This is not a tuition-based AAS program — it is a short, focused certification course offered through MCC's workforce division, which means financial aid eligibility may differ from credit-bearing programs. Verify current financial aid options directly with MCC Workforce Education. Phlebotomy is a meaningful entry point into the healthcare field: the work is skilled, the credential is recognized across the country, and the hospital and clinic systems of the Omaha metro (CHI Health, Methodist Health System, UNMC) consistently employ certified phlebotomists. Contact MCC Workforce Education at 531-MCC-2400 for current enrollment dates and financial options.
