Boost Your Medical Assistant Career with Phlebotomist Certification
Certification is not a required phlebotomist qualification. However, some graduates wish to obtain the credentials required to become a Certified Phlebotomy Technician. Arizona College encourages our graduates to pursue certification to enhance their resumes and gain additional knowledge following the hands-on training in our Medical Assistant with Phlebotomy program.
Registered Phlebotomy Technician Certification Exams
After successfully completing our program, Arizona College graduates are eligible to sit for the Registered Phlebotomy Technician Certification Examination (offered through the American Medical Technologists organization). Other organizations that certify phlebotomists include the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians, National Credentialing Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel, and National Phlebotomy Association. Depending on which state you wish to work in, a phlebotomy license may be required as well.
What is the Phlebotomist Certification Process?
These are the general steps to becoming a certified phlebotomist:
- Ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the appropriate examination before submitting your application.
- Complete and submit the appropriate application form along with the necessary application fee and documentation required to verify your eligibility.
