FAQs
What programs do you offer?
We currently offer an in-person Phlebotomy Technician training program designed to prepare students for entry-level careers in healthcare. The course includes classroom instruction, hands-on lab practice, and eligibility for the national certification exam.
Do I need prior experience to enroll?
No prior medical experience or prerequisites are required to enroll. Our programs are designed for beginners as well as those looking to grow in their existing healthcare career. However, students must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, be able to pass a background check, provide proof of required immunizations and/or TB testing, and have a valid government-issued photo ID.
Is a phlebotomy career right for me?
Phlebotomy is a great career path for anyone who enjoys helping others, thrives in hands-on environments, and is looking to enter the medical field without spending years in school. It’s ideal for recent grads, career changers, or anyone who wants a stable, in-demand job with room for growth.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes — students who complete the course and meet all requirements will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate verifies that you’ve met California’s state-approved training standards for phlebotomy and qualifies you to apply for the national certification exam and state licensure (if applicable). Your certificate can also be presented to externship sites and future employers as proof of your training.
How do I enroll?
We offer easy online enrollment through our website — just click the “Enroll” tab to get started. Once you complete the form and submit payment, you’ll receive an email confirmation with next steps and important course details. Courses that are at maximum capacity will be designated as “Waitlist Only”.
Is an externship included?
Our program includes a clinical externship, which gives students the opportunity to apply their classroom and lab skills in a real-world medical setting. We partner with local hospitals, clinics, and laboratories to provide hands-on experience under the supervision of licensed professionals. Completion of the externship is a key step toward certification and enhances your resume for future employment opportunities.
Meet Our Instructor & Owner
Lori Veliquette brings over two decades of hands-on medical experience and a deep passion for mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals.
She began her career as an EMT and Medical Assistant, building a strong foundation in patient care and emergency medicine. She later became a Surgical Technologist, working with both a plastic surgery group and at Petaluma Valley Hospital. Her journey eventually led her to phlebotomy — where she discovered her true calling.
For the past 15 years, Lori has worked as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician II (CPT II) in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals and outpatient facilities. She worked for UCSF as a traveling Phlebotomist attending different events that required a skilled Phlebotomist. Her expertise includes venipuncture, blood culture collection, stroke protocol procedures, and caring for patients of all ages — from infants to older adults.
Over the last three years, Lori has dedicated herself to teaching phlebotomy. She is known for her patient, supportive, and thorough instruction style. Students appreciate the way she takes time to ensure they not only learn the technical skills, but also build the confidence needed to succeed in a real clinical environment.
Mentoring matters deeply to Lori. Throughout her career — and through life’s challenges — she has come to understand how important it is to have someone who believes in you, guides you, and helps you grow. She strives to be that steady, encouraging presence for her students, creating a learning environment where they feel supported, capable, and empowered.
Opening RedLine Medical Training Center was a natural extension of that passion. With the encouragement and support of her family — many of whom also serve in healthcare — Lori created a school grounded in integrity, high standards, and genuine care. Her daughter is a Nurse Practitioner, her son is an EMT entering paramedic school, and her husband serves as a Fire Chief. Healthcare and service are not just professions in her family — they are a shared calling.
When she’s not teaching, Lori enjoys being in nature — camping, boating, and spending time outdoors — as well as being with her four adult children and three grandsons. You can often find her cheering from the sidelines at her grandsons’ sports games, soaking in every moment.
