What do you need to be a certified phlebotomist?

To work in Phlebotomy you need either to get a job that has on the job training or attend a college or vocational school that has phlebotomy as a diploma. Some states in the USA do not require any formal phlebotomy experience as the job can be taught with on the job training. However some states require that you attend, pass and receive a certificate from an accredited phlebotomy education program. In the UK there are no formal program only on the job training, and the only requirements are a high school/GCSE's in Math, and English. Hope this has helped.
