What Does It Mean To Earn Your Certification As A Phlebotomy Technician?

Through the Phlebotomy Technician Program, you are eligible for the Certified Phlebotomy Training Certification (CPT). To become certified, candidates must be 18 years of age and possess a high school diploma or equivalent.

This program has a clinical requirement of 30 venipuncture and 10 capillary sticks on live individuals to sit for their certification exam. Greensboro College cannot guarantee they will find a site to complete this clinical requirement, so only students employed in a healthcare facility or those that take full responsibility for meeting their clinical requirements will be admitted to the program.

This program is not available to students who plan to work in the states of California or Washington. Many states have licensing or certification requirements for those performing the role of a Phlebotomist. Our program is aligned with and/or prepares candidates for certification or licensure in each state except California and Washington.
