Renewal & continuing education
Certifiers require continuing education to stay certified (for example, NHA CPT renewal every 2 years with CE credits, ASCP PBT through the Credential Maintenance Program every 3 years). California and a few other states also license phlebotomists.
Requirements change - always confirm with your certifying body and your state or provincial licensing board.
