Check your eligibility

Some items describe alternative routes rather than requirements for everyone. Use the route that applies to you as a preparation checklist; the program makes the eligibility decision.

How to apply

  1. 1
    Select Rochester MN, Phoenix AZ or Jacksonville FL and the correct cohort in How to Apply. Create the Mayo School of Health Sciences application and choose that location’s Phlebotomy Certificate.
  2. 2
    Submit the application, 300–500-word personal statement, two professional-reference contacts and official institution-sent transcripts by that cohort’s deadline.
  3. 3
    Monitor the emailed virtual interview. Training is nine weeks, normally eight-hour weekdays on campus; graduation gives a completion certificate and eligibility for a separate NHA/ASCP certification exam.

What to watch for

An earlier January-2027 class deadline has passed while later cohorts remain listed. The next all-three-location deadline is not the deadline for every later FL/MN class. Check the actual row before applying.
No stipend, job guarantee or a universal employment-service contract is established by these current programme pages. Outside work must not interfere, and no financial aid beyond the named scholarship is available here.
After three unsuccessful programme applications, further applications are withdrawn. An admission certificate is separate from national certification.
