The APT is dedicated to advancing the field of phlebotomy by offering certifications, resources, and professional support for phlebotomy technicians, ensuring high standards in patient care.
The Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) credential demonstrates proficiency in phlebotomy practices and is a key certification offered by organizations like APT to validate professional skills.
Most phlebotomy certification programs, including those endorsed by the APT, require candidates to have at least a high school diploma or equivalent before enrolling in a phlebotomy training program.
A phlebotomy technician’s primary responsibility is to draw blood samples from patients for laboratory analysis, ensuring proper handling and labeling for accurate results.
Most phlebotomy certifications, including those from the APT, require renewal every three years. This ensures that technicians stay updated with the latest practices and maintain professional standards.
