How long does a phlebotomy certification last?

A Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) certification will need to be renewed every two years. This ensures that all phlebotomists working in the field are informed of any updates in the field and are motivated and taking the initiative to stay working.

Before renewing CPT certification, there are requirements that need to be met. To renew, you must hold a current CPT certification. It is crucial that these be current and not expired, so meeting deadlines is extremely important for CPT certification. During renewal, you may choose to take additional classes to learn helpful skills for phlebotomy.
