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.
Operating since 2009, Phlebotomy Career Training was one of the first institutions in the country to offer online phlebotomy training programs. Our curriculum was developed by Nancy Kimmel, a nurse practitioner and founder of Phlebotomy Career Training.
We offer two pathways for phlebotomy certification. Both formats include access to one National Association of Phlebotomy Technician Professionals (NAPTP) exam attempt.
Our completely online phlebotomy course gives you a flexible way to prepare from home while still receiving instructor support, study materials and a simulation kit for practice.

If you prefer structured in-person training, the 10-week program at our Dearborn, Michigan campus offers hands-on instruction and access to the certification exam. In this program, you can choose other exams beyond the NAPTP exam, at your own cost. The in-person program also provides support in finding your own clinic site, including a letter of recommendation and staff guidance.

In the phlebotomy technician training program, you will learn:
Our 100% online program includes 200 hours of instruction and can be completed in four weeks or up to six months. For hands-on training, students get a simulation kit at no cost and must submit 30 technique videos.

Our in-person program in Dearborn includes supervised blood draws during lab days and class time, so you get practice.
To get phlebotomy technician certification and become eligible for many jobs in the field, you must pass the NAPTP exam. The exam has 100 questions, takes about two hours and requires a score of 85% or higher to pass.
