I am a certified phlebotomist. Licensed by the state of California. I also took the national exam issued by MMci-NCCT. They both expire in 2017
You do not need to be certified in most states. Experience is more desirable. 25 years of experience, no certification.
Many hospitals will hire Lab Assistants, which will do phlebotomy and a number of other tasks, and train them on the job.
