Florida Phlebotomy Technician FAQ?
How can I become a Phlebotomy Technician in Florida?
Meet Basic Requirements – Typically, you need a high school diploma or GED.
Complete a Phlebotomy Training Program – Enroll in an accredited program at a community college, vocational school, or online provider. These programs usually take a few weeks to a few months. Our program here at USCI can be completed in 3 months.
Obtain Certification (Optional but Recommended) – While Florida does not require certification, many employers prefer candidates with credentials from organizations like the NHA, ASCP, or AMT. Phlebotomy Technician graduates may sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam via the NHA’s Pre-Externship Route; however, graduates will need hands-on experience completing a minimum of 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks or finger sticks on live individuals, following completion of the program to receive certification. This experience is not included in the program. Graduates must complete this experience within 90 days of passing the CPT exam and are responsible for securing their own experience site. Students must contact local blood testing providers (e.g., Labcorp or Quest), hospitals or doctor’s offices to seek out live experience opportunities.
Apply for Jobs – Look for positions in hospitals, labs, and clinics. Some employers provide on-the-job training. No state licensure is required in Florida, so once trained, you can start working immediately.
