As advancements in medical technology rise, more employers are requiring national certification in the phlebotomy field each year.
Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) Certification
register nowProgram Includes:
Obtaining a CPT certification demonstrates competency within the phlebotomy field. CPT credential holders have demonstrated a satisfactory understanding of the content domains that encompass the tasks and knowledge requirements of phlebotomists, as determined by a job task analysis.
Earning your CPT through National Performance Specialists means you’ll become nationally certified, which ensures employers you’re continually updating your industry knowledge in the phlebotomy field. Without this, a potential employer can’t verify your phlebotomy skills, decreasing your chances of being hired.
All NPS initial & renewal certification exams are live remote proctored by our partner PSI. A live proctor will monitor you throughout the duration of your exam. To learn more about live remote proctoring click here.
