Meet Requirements – Most programs require a high school diploma or GED.
Complete a Phlebotomy Program – Enroll in an accredited phlebotomy training program, which typically takes 4–12 weeks. Our program here at USCI can be completed in 3 months.
Obtain Certification (Optional but Recommended) – While Georgia does not require certification, many employers prefer or require it. Certifications are available through organizations like the NHA, ASCP, or NCCT. 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, clinics, labs, or blood donation centers. Our career coaches will support you during this process with resume worships and mock interviews.
