Those interested in training in the field of phlebotomy have a variety of educational options, both through private colleges as well as through the North Carolina community college system.  A typical program is about 16 weeks and includes both classroom/lecture and lab work. Most training programs also offer clinical studies in hospitals, clinics or long-term care facilities to give students some real-world experiences. Additionally, some programs also include courses designed to help students develop interpersonal and communication skills, which will benefit them in working with co-workers and patients.
  
The North Carolina community college programs offer their graduates certificates of completion and encourage them to take the National Healthcare Association (NHA) exam to achieve certification in Phlebotomy. American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians is a certification agency based in North Carolina and offers members a variety of services, including continuing education classes and a newsletter to stay current with trends in the healthcare field. Its website notes that often the phlebotomist is the sole lab staff with direct patient contact, so the professionalism of a phlebotomist is important.  To meet the challenges that come with this changing role in the healthcare field, ASPT promotes the idea that no certifications should be offered without education and requires members to receive six hours of continuing education on an annual basis.
