Steps to Become a Phlebotomist: Education, Certification, and Licensing

To become a phlebotomist, you need to finish the required education for a phlebotomist, get certification and licensing, and find a job. You can start by completing your high school education and taking classes in the biological sciences. If you didn't complete high school, you can get your GED. Research phlebotomy training schools, preferably accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Apply to a phlebotomy training program by submitting an application, transcripts, recommendation letters, and a short essay. Attend a 9-month to 2-year phlebotomy training program, where you'll learn about anatomy, blood collection, storage, and safety. Earn 1,040 hours of work experience through an internship or apprenticeship. Once you've completed the requirements, you can become certified as a phlebotomy technician by meeting the specific certification requirements. Each certification is sponsored by a different agency.
