About the Pathcare Learnership Programme
This internship programme (Further Education and Training Certificate: Phlebotomy Techniques, NQF level 4), offered by PathCare Academy, is designed to prepare individuals to work as phlebotomy technicians. Since its establishment, when it accepted the first Phlebotomy Technician Learners from South Africa, the Academy has delivered the two-year programme with great success. The development of this certification was spearheaded by PathCare, with funding from the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA). Running as a learnership under the auspices of the HWSETA, the qualification has been authorised and approved by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
