Phlebotomy Continuing Education Requirements 

CALIFORNIA

Certified Phlebotomy Technicians must obtain a total of 6 contact hours of continuing education approved by clinical laboratory science continuing education accrediting agencies or from an accredited academic institute in two years for a two-year renewal cycle from the date your certificate is issued.

FLORIDA

By law in the state of Florida, a phlebotomist must be state certified or they are not allowed to work. A Florida phlebotomy certification is for a two-year period and can be renewed upon the presentation of proof of the required 6 hours of continuing education (CE hours) for renewal. Keeping your certification up to date impacts not only your qualifications for employment in desirable positions but also the salary level.

ASCP

The Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) must be completed every three years to maintain certification. To successfully complete the program, documented activities demonstrating continued competence must be completed at least two months prior to the certificate expiration date. A Declaration Form, along with the required CMP fee(s) must be submitted two months prior to the expiration date shown on your wall certificate for certification renewal.

Activities may not be carried over from one recertification period to the next. For example, if your validation dates are January 1, 2008 through January 31, 2011, you will need to complete your continuing competence activities between those dates. Activities obtained before your certification revalidation period begins will not be accepted. Upon successful completion of the program, you are required to use the initials “CM” in superscript, after your certification initials [e.g., MLS(ASCP)CM] for the period your Certification Maintenance certificate is valid. If you do not participate in the Program, your certification is invalid and you will not be permitted to use the certification designation after your name [e.g., MLS(ASCP)CM] when your certification expires.
