Phlebotomy Program Certification Exam

National Certification Examinations

After the Phlebotomy student has completed the program, they are eligible to take the national certification examinations such as the PBT-ASCP or NCA. (The ASC P and NCA has merged.)

Successful completion of one of these exams is required by most medical laboratory employers, and allows a graduate to work in most states that do not have licensure requirement. (Exceptions: California, New York City, Florida, Montana, Nervada, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Hawaii and Tennessee.)

It is the student's responsibility to contact the national certification offices to obtain application forms and to submit the forms with the required fees.

If the application form is submitted without the fee, the form will be returned. Transcripts also must be sent; this should not be done only after it has been noted on your transcript that you have completed the program.
