Phlebotomy Technician

Graduates of the Phlebotomy Technician program are prepared for the Phlebotomy Board of Certification exam. States that do not require state licensure and certification (e.g. Minnesota and North Dakota) are determined as meeting state licensure requirements. Please note, most employers do strongly recommend the training program and certification, so it is encouraged you inquire with an employer at the time of application to ask what their policy is.
