Are you interested in getting a phlebotomy technician certification? Here are briefly the steps you need to follow:
- Make sure you understand what the job scope is, via reviewing the duties of a phlebotomist. In this way you can determine if this is a career for you or not.
- Review phlebotomy certification requirements. Double-check if in your state you need a college degree or a high school diploma is enough (like in most states).
- Enroll to phlebotomy classes. Make sure that the curriculum provides you with the knowledge necessary for passing the certification exam. You can take online, live classes or a combination of the two. Be aware that the cost of the training varies, so you may want to do a bit of research if you would like to optimize cost.
- Before taking the certification exam, double-check that the certification you will get is recognized in your state. Usually there are no issues, but better check, then sorry.
- After passing the exam, you may be required to have up to two hundred hours of phlebotomist training and one hundred venipunctures in a clinical practice, before getting the phlebotomy certification.
- Phlebotomists are in high demand, so it shouldn’t be a problem to find a job. If you would like to get support though, a tip is to enroll to phlebotomist training at a college that has a career department. They will help you find a job as soon as you become certified.
