Texas Phlebotomy Technician FAQ?
How can I become a Phlebotomy Technician in Texas?
Meet Basic Requirements – Be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, and pass a background check.
Complete a Phlebotomy Training Program– Enroll in an accredited phlebotomy course, which typically lasts 4–12 weeks and includes classroom instruction and hands-on training. Our program here at USCI can be completed in 3 months.
Gain Clinical Experience & Certification – While Texas does not require certification, most employers prefer it. 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 openings in hospitals, clinics, blood banks, and laboratories. Our career coaches (included in your program) will assist you in preparing your resume, perform optional mock interviews, and provide advice during your career exploration process.
Maintain Certification (If Applicable) – Some certifications require periodic renewal through continuing education or exams.
