for more information.
Applicants transferring appropriately leveled TABE, CASAS GOALS, GED® test sections, or other common placement
tests must do so by having an official score report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program.
Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if the document provided by the outside testing center is in a sealed
envelope.
Remediation of Basic Skills
Students who do not meet the basic skills exit scores set by the Florida Department of Education for their program are
strongly encouraged to begin attending remediation classes prior to or at the time of enrollment in a Career and Technical
Education program and make acceptable progress as determined by the ASB faculty member. Lake Technical College
follows vendor guidelines for all retesting. Students with an approved early testing waiver may be permitted to test early. It
is highly recommended students meet state mandated basic skills requirements by the time they have completed 50% of
their program. Students who do not meet state mandated basic skills exit scores may not receive a certificate of
completion as per Florida Department of Education rules.
Some basic skills test scores are good for two years and must be valid at the time of enrollment. Basic skills test scores
that expire during continuous enrollment remain valid until the end of such enrollment. Under continuous enrollment,
students must be enrolled at least 50% of each semester. Continuous enrollment applies to attendance in a single
program.
DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS
Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the
secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to meet individual needs to ensure
equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request
accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their postsecondary provider.
Students desiring accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to self-identify before or as soon
as possible to the special populations staff and provide documentation that clearly shows evidence of a disability and
applicable accommodations. The special populations staff will schedule a meeting with the student and faculty to discuss
the documented disability and applicable accommodations.
Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education and are
reasonable as they relate to the industry or field. Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students with
disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments, assessments,
time demands, schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Note:
attendance does not qualify as an accommodation. Documentation of the accommodation requested and provided is
maintained in a confidential file.
Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the special populations staff to arrange
appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice (typically 5 working days) prior to
requesting an accommodation.
TUITION
Tuition is charged to adult students at a rate established by the State legislature. Current fee information is available in the
Admissions Office. Tuition is waived for eligible high school, career dual enrolled students. Tuition is due prior to the first
day of each payment period based on the Lake Technical College payment calendar. Failure to pay fees at the time class
begins may result in not being able to attend class and/or clinical.

Master Plan of Instruction 08/04/25
INSURANCE
Personal injury/school accident insurance is required for all Career and Technical Education students. This insurance is
provided through Lake Technical College at the rate of $1.50 a month. The accident insurance fee will be charged to
students per payment period.
Health programs with clinical experiences require liability insurance in conjunction with requirements by the healthcare
facilities. The liability insurance fee is charged to students at the time of enrollment.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Guidelines for All Students
In an effort to develop professional skills, regular attendance is required of all students. Students are expected to be in
their class promptly in the morning, after break, and after lunch. If it is necessary to be absent due to illness or
emergencies, all students are to notify the faculty member as soon as possible prior to the start of class, as is expected in
the workplace. Some programs have more rigid requirements for attendance. LTC recognizes that students may face
extenuating circumstances that could negatively impact their attendance. In such cases, LTC employs a Student
Retention Specialist who works with students and faculty to track attendance, to collaborate in developing strategies to
improve attendance, and to develop a plan.
CDE students are responsible for maintaining attendance in good standing at LTC. Should a student need to miss class
due to mandatory high school activities or tests, the student should give notice to their instructor and meet with the
Student Retention Specialist to document the absence. Approved absences may be set to not count against the student’s
overall attendance average.
Enrollment Period – period of time a student begins his/her education and training in a CTE program (i.e., August 15
th
,
January 3
rd
) through the date of withdrawal or completion.
Payment Period – a set block of time in which a student pays for program hours (i.e., 300 hours, 450 hours)
Students who are approved to make up missed time must complete the required hours through attendance during
designated times outside the regular program schedule. Failure to complete scheduled make-up time may result in
withdrawal from the program and/or loss of financial aid. Make-up hours may not exceed 5% of the scheduled hours in
the payment period. There is a $25.00 make-up time fee per payment period.
Regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for attendance. Practice exercises completed at home will not count
toward hours in a program. Students will be enrolled in additional hours if needed. Current tuition and fees will apply.
Excessive absences - A student who is absent for six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from his/her
program. A student must petition and be approved in order to return. Students exhibiting a pattern of consecutive
absences of less than six days will be subject to dismissal as determined by a School Intervention Team. A School
Intervention Team will review all petitions for re-enrollment. No additional fees will be charged if the student returns
during that current payment period, provided fees have not been refunded; however, time missed may be added at the
end of the program and will incur additional fees.
The excessive absences policy also applies to the adult education student. If the student requests to be re-enrolled
during the same enrollment period, he or she will be assessed a $10.00 re-enrollment fee. This may be waived
depending upon mitigating circumstances.
Students with excessive absences will face the possibility of the loss of financial aid, lower professional skills grades and
the ability to continue in the program.
*Note: licensure program attendance policies may be more rigid due to licensure requirements and supersede this
policy.
Leaving Campus During School Hours
For safety reasons, students will notify their faculty when leaving campus early. Students may leave campus for lunch
provided this is done within the allotted time.
Phlebotomy

Master Plan of Instruction 08/04/25
CHECK IN/OUT FACTS AND RULES
1. Students are required to check in and check out using a designated school computer.
2. Students are to check out /in when going to lunch or leaving campus, but not for scheduled breaks or
restroom breaks. However, students who leave for extended periods of time without permission will be
checked out by their instructor.
3. Checking in early does not add time to hours present.
4. Checking out after the scheduled time of class does not add time to hours present.
5. Students must check out/in for their lunch breaks. Taking less than a 30-minute lunch break does not add
time to student hours present. Lunch break starts at the time a student logs out for lunch. Students are
expected to return and log back in within 30 minutes of the logout time. Students will be marked absent
for each minute past the 30 minutes allowed.
6. If a student accidentally checks out, he/she should check back in immediately. If done within a minute,
there is no reduction in student hours present.
7. It is NOT acceptable to check in or out for other students. Check in/out student IDs are to be kept
confidential as stated in the Acceptable Use Policies. Violation will result in dismissal from the program.
8. A student must notify his/her instructor if it is suspected that someone is tampering with another student’s
check in/out ID.
9. Instructors are permitted to perform attendance overrides to correct attendance errors; however, these
corrections must be made within two weeks of the original attendance date. Any changes needed beyond
this two-week window must be submitted to the appropriate administrator for review and approval. Each
instructor is allowed to complete one attendance override per student per academic year in cases of
student oversight (e.g., forgetting to log out at the end of the day). Any additional overrides for the same
student must be approved by an administrator.
10. There is NO limit to the number of instructor overrides if NOT due to the student’s negligence. Instructors
must record a reason for the override.
11. If a student’s check in/out ID does not work, he/she should see the instructor.
PLAN OF INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES
Teaching Methods
Lecture, demonstration, discussion, group interaction, verbal and written quizzes, skill practice, individualized instruction,
computerized tutorials, interactive learning, web-based learning, textbooks, workbooks, projects, journals, reports,
simulations, hands-on computer experience, collaborative learning, video-taped instructions, guest speakers, field trips,
customer service projects, program job shadowing, cooperative on-the-job training, interactive learning, and web-based
learning are among the teaching methods utilized.
Among the provisions made to allow for individual differences are pre-testing to determine entry level, workbooks and
study guides for progress at individual rate, progress grading, individualized instruction, individual project assignments,
and referral for basic skills remediation.
Online Access
Technology is an integral part of our daily lives. From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are becoming
items that many cannot function without. In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is delivered. Lake
Technical College strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology driven world. With this in
mind, it is recommended that students have an online presence and access to the internet.
It is also important that students have an email address that they check for on a regular basis. A lot of information may
come to you through your email, so it is important that you check it regularly. If you do not have an email address, there
are numerous services that provide FREE email addresses. Please make sure your faculty have a current, working email
address for you. See your faculty for more information.
Social Media
The advent of social media has created a world-wide communication medium for people of all ages. While extremely
popular, these websites have also created their own set of “not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft,
cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and a host of other nebulous challenges that
users may face. Another reality associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who share posts
that may be seen by others as inappropriate.
Potential employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated with, and many others
are looking at social media sites for information that may tell them things about an individual. Students should also be
Phlebotomy
Page 4 of 21
Master Plan of Instruction 08/04/25
cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on an account. All social media sites
are potentially vulnerable. A simple search of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular social media
website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content. Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain
how to accomplish this task.
Students in all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral character. It is
recommended that when using social media, assume that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the internet.
Evaluation
Class performance, quizzes, tests, attendance, portfolio assessments, completion of project assignments, decision-
making, professional skills, achievement of entry-level competencies, and other methods are used for evaluation. See
“Grading Procedures”.
Work Based Activities
Work-based learning activities play an integral part of the curriculum of LTC’s career-technical training programs. These
activities are planned with two objectives in mind. First, the activity provides students with the opportunity to develop and
apply a “real world” experience using the knowledge and skills attained in the program. Second, the activity provides the
faculty with objective input from potential employers or customers of program graduates. Each work-based activity has a
written instructional plan outlining objectives, experiences, competencies and evaluation required during the activity.
Work-based activities are program specific and may include:
• Unpaid in-school shop/lab activities to provide customer service opportunities under the direct supervision
of the program faculty.
• Unpaid job shadowing experiences that may include in-school or off-campus employer-based
experiences under the supervision of a qualified employer representative who is working closely with the
program faculty.
• Paid or unpaid cooperative training experiences conducted at the employer’s work location under the
supervision of a qualified employer representative and under the direction of the program faculty.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative training is available for students and coordinated by the faculty. Cooperative training is for students who
have shown competence in program training that indicates readiness for placement in an on-the-job program. High
school students participating in the cooperative job placement program must be in at least grade 12. Students must be
enrolled in their last course of their program in order to participate in Co-op. In addition, basic skills exit levels must be met
and the student can have no outstanding debt with the school. Students must be approved for Co-op prior to beginning,
including clearance through financial aid.
Students may be returned to the program for additional training if they do not function satisfactorily on the job or when the
cooperative agreement is terminated at the request of the student, parent, employer, or program faculty.
Veterans will be accepted into the program in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs approved program.
Additional information regarding co-op opportunities may be obtained from the program faculty.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing experiences, or volunteer experiences, are available to students as part of their program training. These
experiences are designed to give the student actual hands-on experience doing a variety of related tasks. Length and
type of experiences will vary. The program faculty determines appropriateness of the experience. Additional information
regarding job-shadowing experiences may be obtained from the program faculty.
Career Dual Enrollment Students
All students enrolled in Lake Technical College are expected to function as adults. High school students will be held to
the same behavioral and performance standards as adult students.

GRADING PROCEDURE
The grading scale for LTC is as follows:
90 – 100 A (4 quality points)
80 – 89 B (3 quality points)
70 – 79 C (2 quality points)
60 – 69 D (1 quality point)
< 59 F (0 quality points)
I Incomplete
NG Not Graded
Note: passing thresholds may vary by program based on industry standards. Separate program requirements are listed
in the Master Plan of Instruction.
Lake Technical College is a postsecondary institution designed to provide trained individuals to industry. The grading
scale for this program reflects industry standards. The approved postsecondary program grading requirements must be
met if the student is to receive a certificate. In determining grades, most programs evaluate students equally in the areas
of skills (33.34%), knowledge (33.33%), and professional skills (33.33%). This structure should be included in the Master
Plan of Instruction. A few programs do not use this structure due to State licensure, board and/or curricular requirements.
Program Progress
Students are expected to complete the program of training within the hours allotted by the State of Florida for completion.
The student’s rate of progress will be closely monitored by the faculty and the Student Retention Specialist to ensure
program completion in a timely manner. Most tests, projects, and similar assignments must be completed in class under
the direction of the instructor.
Requirements for a Certificate
All competencies specified in the State of Florida Curriculum Framework for the program must be successfully completed
with at least a passing grade in the areas of skills, knowledge, and professional skills. Students must also meet minimum
basic skills requirements prior to graduation.
Professional Skills
Effective professional skills are the cornerstone to successful employment. Students are expected to demonstrate
productive professional skills during all phases of enrollment. Faculty will work with students who need assistance in this
area to improve the overall possibility for successful employment.

STUDENT DRESS CODE
Students who attend Lake Tech shall dress in a manner appropriate for the job in which they are receiving training,
including any special protective gear and professional uniforms. All clothing, makeup, and jewelry must be clean, neat,
modest, in good repair, appropriately sized, and be neither distracting nor offensive. Students are expected to display
their valid student ID, or have on their person when unable to display due to safety in the program, at all times. Shorts are
not permitted in CTE program areas.
The Executive Director or designee has the final authority for determining whether or not a student’s apparel conforms to
the dress code. If it is determined that it does not, students will be required to change into clothing which will conform to
this code or leave campus. Students may return to campus when they have changed into appropriate clothing.
Students will wear the designated program uniform each day to class and while on a Job Shadow experience, Co-op or
clinical assignment. Shirts may be worn with pants or skirts. Shorts are not permitted. On designated days, some
programs will require students to dress in business attire suitable for a job interview. This is defined to be clothing that
would be acceptable for most job candidates to wear to a standard job interview.
NOTE - Remember that you are preparing for employment in a position in which public relations may be a factor in your
success. Individual desires cannot always take precedence.
GENERAL SCHOOL INFORMATION
Campus Safety

Phlebotomy
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Lake Technical College Health Science Education Department and the Phlebotomy program. Your future holds
a rewarding and challenging health career!
The Master Plan of Instruction has been prepared to help you in orientation to the school and becoming familiar with the
requirements of the 165-hour Phlebotomy program. We will do everything in our power to make this educational experience
both pleasant and profitable. We believe that faculty and students have reciprocal rights and duties in the educational
process. We will strive to instruct, motivate, demonstrate, guide, and encourage the student, and facilitate learning; and we
believe the student must desire and seek knowledge, display professional behavior, and demonstrate initiative by
participating in his/her own learning and demonstrate understanding by giving a high quality of client care.
HEALTH SCIENCE EDUCATION MISSION
The mission of the Health Science Education Department at Lake Technical College is to prepare students to meet the
health care needs of a growing and diverse population, while serving as productive members of our local, state, national,
and international communities.
PHLEBOTOMY PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
We believe the phlebotomist holds a responsible position in the health industry. In order to become competent in this role,
instruction must contain theory, lab, and clinical experiences.
We believe the curriculum must have a unified and organized pattern. The educational experiences should be meaningful
and build from simple to complex and should provide opportunities to apply new learning directly to real life situations.
We believe that continuous evaluation of a student’s progress is necessary in measuring the effectiveness of instruction
and in achieving the stated objectives of the program.
We believe that individuals who meet the legal requirements of the state and who show an interest and aptitude for
phlebotomy, together with potential for career success and satisfaction, should be accepted into this program.
We believe that phlebotomy education is an ongoing process that must continue after completion of the program to keep
the practitioner accountable for, and alert to, current trends and practices and to develop leadership potential to enable the
practitioner to become an active and guiding force within the field.

medical conditions, illnesses, or injuries which may affect performance of the required essential tasks to the program faculty
in a timely manner. The reporting of these conditions is for your safety as well as the safety of those we care for and interact
with. A determination can then be made regarding the possible need for medical clearance from a physician, to determine
if the student’s level of participation in the program requires modification.
In the event that a student is deemed to have a medical condition, illness, or injury which may prevent, or hinder the student
from performing the required essential tasks, medical evaluation and clearance from a licensed physician, a nurse
practitioner, or a physician’s assistant will be required to continue. See faculty or Healthcare Programs Coordinator for
documentation requirements.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Phlebotomy involves the provision of direct care of individuals and is characterized by the application of verified knowledge
in the skillful performance of Phlebotomy functions. Phlebotomy is a practiced discipline with cognitive, sensory, affective,
and psychomotor performance requirements. Based on these requirements, a list of Core Performance Standards has been
developed.
Critical Thinking: Critical thinking ability sufficient for clinical judgment
Interpersonal: Interpersonal abilities sufficient to interact with individuals, families, and groups from a variety
of social, emotional, cultural, and intellectual backgrounds
Communication: Communication abilities sufficient for interaction with others in verbal and written form
Mobility: Physical abilities sufficient to move from room to room, maneuver in small spaces
Motor Skills: Gross and fine motor abilities sufficient to provide safe and effective care
Hearing: Auditory ability sufficient to monitor and assess health needs
Visual: Visual ability sufficient for observation and assessment necessary in care
Tactile: Tactile ability sufficient for physical assessment
Students unable to demonstrate the Core Performance Standards must notify the Healthcare Programs Coordinator by
the end of the first-class day to inquire about the provision of reasonable accommodations.
PROGRAM SPECIFIC ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Notification of Absences
Attendance is very important in the Phlebotomy program. A student who finds it necessary to be absent due to illness or
emergency situations MUST notify the faculty prior to or within one (1) hour of the start of the Face-to-Face day or Virtual
Session. When a student finds it necessary to leave early, they must notify the instructor as well.
Failure of notification will result in:
1. a verbal reprimand at the first no-call, no-show.
2. a written reprimand for the second no-call, no-show.
3. a Pre-SIT (School Intervention Team) meeting for the third no-call, no-show with the instructor and Healthcare Programs
Coordinator.
Your mandatory class participation is as follows:
• You will be provided an outline of due dates for assignments that you must complete to remain active and in
good standing for attendance. You will have 1 week (Monday-Sunday) to complete the work within that time
frame each week.
• Your instructor will hold virtual sessions that you must attend, or you will be marked absent.
• Attendance is determined by the completion of independent activities, participating in virtual sessions, and
attending on-campus labs. Students will be withdrawn after (6) consecutive absences.
Tardiness/Late
As in the workplace, students are expected to be in their class promptly during all scheduled class sessions. Students are
expected to notify the instructor before the start of class of any anticipated tardies.
PROGRAM SPECIFIC GRADING PROCEDURES
Each course within the Phlebotomy Program includes assignments, due dates, and competencies that need to be achieved.
It is important that the student understands that submitting completed assignments and participating in classroom
discussions/activities will be an expectation of each course.
Phlebotomy
Page 11 of 21
Master Plan of Instruction 08/04/25
The grading policy for the Lake Technical College Phlebotomy Program is as follows:
90 – 100 = A
80 – 89 = B
70 – 79 = C
60 – 69 = D
<59 = F
Program grades are based on three criteria: Knowledge (33.33%), Skills (33.34%), and Professional Skills (Work Habits)
(33.33%). Each area counts as one-third of the final grade for the grading period. For a student to continue in the
program, the student must successfully complete each area, independent of each other, with a 80% at each
course ending. If a student does not meet the 80% minimum in any category, the final course grade recorded in
the Student Information System will reflect the category in which the student was not successful.
Remediation and Retesting (Pathways to Success)
• A score of 80% or higher, the student is not allowed to retest to earn a better score.
• If a student scores 79% or lower, the student is highly encouraged to immediately confer with the Student
Success Counselor to analyze the test materials, study tools available, and the student’s study situation.
• A score of 74%-79% the student will have the understanding this is a below criteria grade, and the student may
request remediation with instructor.
• Score of 72% or lower requires mandatory instructor meeting to discuss deficits, mandatory retake of exam
after scheduled meeting with student success counselor.
• A maximum of 2 remediation tests is allowed for each course.
• Final exams are not allowed to be repeated.
Remediation and retesting must be completed within approximately one week of the exam. Students may not retake after
the next exam in the course has been given. The instructor could review reason for not completing exam within expected
time frame with healthcare programs coordinator for any re-evaluation of retesting.
Missed Tests:
• If a test is not taken on the same day as the scheduled test, 10 points are deducted. Based on documentation of
extenuating circumstances, after review, the coordinator may waive this penalty.
• Missed tests must be taken within 5 scheduled school days. Failure to show to take the missed test will result in a
zero grade. Any exceptions must be approved by the Healthcare Programs Coordinator.
• Missed tests are not generally scheduled during class time. It may require time from the student, outside
scheduled class time on a Friday on site in the computer lab.
KNOWLEDGE (33.33% of the grade)
The Knowledge grade is composed of quizzes, written exams, and assignments. An average grade of 80% or higher is
required for successful completion of each course. Failure of either Healthcare Core or Phlebotomy course will result in
withdrawal from the program. A minimum overall KNOWLEDGE average of 80% per unit is required to successfully
complete the Phlebotomy program.
PROFESSIONALSKILLS (Work Habits) (33.33% of the grade)
The Professional Skills grade is based on the attributes listed below. The professional skills grade is based on established
criteria and reviewed with each student at the end of each grading period. A minimum PROFESSIONAL SKILLS grade of
80% per grading course is required to successfully complete the Phlebotomy program.
SKILLS (33.34% of the grade)
The Skills grade results from performance in the clinical. Clinical skills must be demonstrated and passed during the grading
period in which the skill was introduced. A minimum SKILLS grade of 80% per grading course is required to successfully
complete the Phlebotomy program.
Program Progress
Students are required to complete the program of training within the hours allotted by the State of Florida for completion.
Progress must be at a rate that will allow for completion with the number of hours stated in the Curriculum Framework which
