Phlebotomy Technician Certification Program

A certified phlebotomy technician (CPT) collects blood, confirms patient details and helps prepare specimens so laboratories can test samples accurately. Phlebotomy Career Training offers new healthcare learners a flexible way to prepare for work as a phlebotomy technician, with online training first and an in-person option in Dearborn, Michigan.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects 7% growth for phlebotomist jobs through 2035, with about 18,000 openings each year on average. BLS also reports the 2025 median pay of $45,230 per year.
