Illinois Phlebotomy Technician FAQ?
How can I become a Phlebotomy Technician in Illinois?
Meet Basic Requirements – You must have a high school diploma or GED.
Complete a Phlebotomy Training Program – Enroll in an accredited program, covering blood collection techniques and safety procedures. Our program here at USCI can be completed in 3 months.
Obtain Certification (Optional but Preferred) – While Illinois doesn’t mandate certification, employers often prefer nationally recognized certifications like those from the NHA (CPT), 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 – Seek employment in hospitals, labs, or clinics. Our career coaches will guide your through the job preparation process and work with you to improve your resume and provide mock interviews.
