To become a successful and highly sought-after Phlebotomist, you need to be grounded in both venipuncture principles and practical procedures. This is why, at Tecloy, we emphasise practicals and real-world case studies — not just theories.

Gain Relevant Real-World Experience Through Clinical Internships

As part of your training, you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through a 4-week Clinical Internship. This helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world healthcare practice, and also meet the clinical requirements for job applications.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Flexible Options: Complete your internship at one of our trusted partner facilities or arrange one at a healthcare facility near you.

  • Direct Patient Care: Work directly with real patients under the supervision of experienced healthcare professionals.

  • Professional Networking: Connect with healthcare professionals, opening doors to future job opportunities and mentorship.
