The National Healthcareer Association's (NHA) certifications are widely recognized around the country.  Their high standards in phlebotomy (requiring a minimum of 40 live, successful blood sticks) and other fields means that you'll have a certification that all area employers will recognize and seek out.  If you are considering a different certification company, be sure to do a thorough job search to ensure that employers will recognize that certification company. 

The NHA, established in 1989, has become the largest health career certification provider, with over 400,000 certified allied health professionals. The NHA is currently working with over 1,300 educational institutions throughout the country in curriculum development, competency testing, and preparation for national certification exams.

The NHA exams exceed all certification and industry standards for reliability, validity, and competency, making the NHA "The Benchmark in Allied Healthcare Certification." The NHA exams proudly promote the use of "psychometrics", which are the most up-to-date principles for the exam development process.

All NHA exams are given on site.  We use computerized testing so students don't have to wait to receive their test results, they receive them immediately.  From that point on, all employers are aware of that graduate's certified status.
