Graduates of the Phlebotomy Technician program are eligible to sit for the written portion of the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam through the National Heathcareer Association (NHA). To become a Certified Phlebotomy Technician, you must also complete a minimum of 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary or finger sticks and provide proof of acceptable documentation to the NHA. You must provide documentation of this experience within 90 days of passing the CPT exam. USCI only offers online education and does NOT provide this live skill practice. Graduates should contact local labs, hospitals, or doctor’s offices to inquire about opportunities for venipuncture and capillary experience. Certification is a requirement of most companies and can impact your employment opportunities and salary.
Regulations and requirements for certification, registration, and licensure vary by state. Some states may include additional requirements beyond those offered in our course, such as CPR training or background checks. Prospective students should contact the regulatory agency in the state(s) where they plan to work to confirm their requirements before enrolling in this course.
