• To earn a phlebotomy certification through the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians, you’ll need to meet the following eligibility requirements:
• One full year as a part-time phlebotomist or six months as a full-time phlebotomist
• Alternatively, you may produce a letter from your health care supervisor verifying that part of your job involves procuring blood samples frequently
• The successful completion of an accredited training program in phlebotomy with at least 100 documented venipunctures and 5 documented skin punctures – all completed successfully—is a must.
•  A current ASPT membership

Provisional certificates may also be awarded when coordinated through special arrangements by school programs.

Our exam fees are only $55, plus membership fees, making these services affordable to everyone. Even if you are a member of other organizations, ASPT welcomes all health providers to its ranks.

Certifications in phlebotomy often lead to better job security and salaries, and earning yours from a prestigious institution often increases your chances of a more lucrative career. The American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians is the 2^nd oldest phlebotomy certifying agency, established in 1983, with membership and certification numbers still soaring after more than 30 years.

Get Your Phlebotomy Technician Certification from ASPT

Welcome to the official blog of ASPT, the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians. We’ll be providing additional information about our services, as well as exploring the latest news and updates from the field of Phlebotomy.

If you’re seeking your phlebotomy technician certification, or you’re choosing a certification agency for your hospital or medical center, why should you choose ASPT? What sets us apart from much of our competition is the inclusion of practical testing during our certificate examination. Our practical exams text the entire range of skills needed daily for professional phlebotomists.

Our certifications are also a step ahead of our competitors because we require continuing education in the field of phlebotomy to maintain the certification. Many agencies cannot require an ongoing educational component because they only provide one continuing education program ever year, which could be located thousands of miles away from those who need the training.

ASPT is continually developing new training programs in conjunction with the institutions that employ our members. We also work with our members to cross train them in other areas that their positions entail, including EKG technician, patient care technician, drug collection, paramedical duties, and more.

Membership in ASPT is affordable and provides our members with a wealth of information and knowledge they can use to improve their practice. Learn more about the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians at ASPT.org today.
