Description of Phlebotomy Classes in Utah
To enable future phlebotomists enter the job market quickly, phlebotomy training programs in Utah schools are designed to be short-paced and teach only required theory and practical skills.
When requesting a curriculum from the school of your choice you will often see Phlebotomy Orientation, Theory and Practical as core (and often the only) courses.
Utah Phlebotomy Training Requirements
Again, because of more and more technicians needed by healthcare institutions across the state, program requirements are often limited to being 18 years of age or older and being a high-school graduate.
Some schools may still request immunizations and drug test passed.

You can also use the form below to find more training opportunities and online programs:
Utah Phlebotomy Certification and Licensure
License required: No
Certification required: No
No licensing and certification is required by the Utah State Department of Health to start practicing phlebotomy.
Given an impressive job growth and amount of new jobs created, you often can enter the workforce with no certification at all, or have on-the-job training.
Still, if you want to land a better job with better compensation package (and not just an average job) we recommend to get an ASCP or NHA phlebotomy certification right after your graduation from a phlebotomy training program.
Utah Phlebotomist Salary Data
Salaries for phlebotomists in Utah who are only starting their career are on-par with what you can get in neighbouring states and nation average.
However, as you progress in your career and get more experience (usually after 3-5 years), it may be hight to sustain a steady rate increase.
Again, it has to do a lot with more job opportunities available for phlebotomists and new technicians entering the workforce.
