Not sure where to start? Here's how our four courses differ, so you can pick based on what you actually need.
Phlebotomy is our most concise option — a focused introduction to phlebotomy covering venepuncture, anatomy, patient preparation and blood donation basics in around 1 hour 43 minutes. A good starting point if you want a foundational CPD certificate without a long time commitment.
Phlebotomy: Phlebotomy Training goes into more depth across 9 modules, around 2 hours 57 minutes, including quality assessment, special blood collection procedures and infection control alongside the core venepuncture content.
Phlebotomy and Venipuncture Training puts extra weight on venipuncture itself — including advanced and adapted techniques for paediatric, geriatric and difficult-vein scenarios — over around 3 hours of content.
Diploma in Nursing Assistant Level 5 is QLS-endorsed alongside its CPD accreditation. It's not a phlebotomy course — it covers patient care, safeguarding, communication and legal standards for nursing assistant roles — but it's a strong pairing for learners who want broader health and social care knowledge alongside their phlebotomy training.
Phlebotomy is most commonly practised within the NHS, where pay follows the national Agenda for Change structure. As a general guide for 2026/27:
Entry-level phlebotomist roles: around £25,272 a year.
Senior or experienced phlebotomist roles: roughly £25,760–£27,476 a year.
Private clinics, GP surgeries and agency work can pay differently, often by the hour, and rates vary by employer and region.
Most phlebotomist roles, including NHS positions, involve employer-led, on-the-job training and supervised competency sign-off in addition to any prior certification. A CPD-certified course like ours is a useful way to build foundational knowledge and demonstrate commitment before you apply — but it sits alongside, not instead of, an employer's own training and assessment process.
Figures are based on published 2026/27 NHS Agenda for Change pay scales. Pay bands are reviewed periodically, so check the latest NHS Employers pay information or current NHS pay circular before relying on these figures.
Phlebotomy and healthcare support skills are relevant across a range of clinical and care settings — from the NHS to private clinics, laboratories and care providers. Pay in these roles is largely set by employer structures such as the NHS Agenda for Change framework, and roles typically require employer-led training and competency sign-off alongside any prior certification. The figures below are general UK market context, not a promise of what any course leads to.
Figures are approximate, based on published 2026/27 NHS Agenda for Change pay bands and general market data — worth checking nhsemployers.org for current official rates before publishing. Progression to any of these roles depends on the employer's own recruitment, training and competency requirements, not solely on completing a course.
