About the Credential
The National Phlebotomy Association (NPA) created their professional organization in 1978 in Washington, DC. NPA provides a certification examination in the field of phlebotomy and maintains a Board of Registry of all those who successfully complete the certification process. Certification by NPA has the same prestige and benefits for the phlebotomist as does certification by any other professional organization for its members. Certification by NPA will aid job placement for phlebotomists and the general level and quality of phlebotomy care will be enhanced. The NPA has their own phlebotomy technician training program for people in the Landover, Maryland area. Thus, this agency does not just certify, it also trains.
