Directory of Phlebotomy Certification Agencies

  The Center for Phlebotomy Education, Inc. is not a certification agency, but we support phlebotomy certification for all healthcare personnel with blood collection responsibilities.

The nationally recognized organizations listed here are recommended by the Center for Phlebotomy Education, Inc.

 Many organizations attempt to certify phlebotomists. However, not all are reputable or in good standing with the Better Business Bureau. Before investing time and money in programs that promise to lead to certification, make sure you will be taking an exam from one of the organizations listed here. Our approval, however, does not constitute an endorsement of the organization or of it's certification. Phlebotomists seeking certification should compare the requirements and benefits of each organization carefully when making this important decision.

These organizations:

  • are nationally recognized;
  • are in good standing with the Better Business Bureau;
  • are known to engage in ethical business practices;
  • use instruction, materials and exams that reflect current CLSI standards;
  • require all applicants to take an examination.
