Immediate Externship Placement
While many phlebotomy programs may take up to 90 days to arrange externship placements, students enrolled in CALRegional-administered programs are placed immediately. Don't let delays slow your progress—these programs fast-track your career path.
91% Certification Passing Rate
Unlike others, CALRegional is transparent about outcomes. Students in CALRegional-administered phlebotomy programs complete the course and pass the national certification exam—achieving a 91% passing rate that exceeds the industry average.
