Do you need a licence in North Carolina?
North Carolina does not require a state licence or certificate to work as a phlebotomist — only California, Nevada, Washington and Louisiana do. Employers there almost always ask for a national certification such as the NHA's CPT, the ASCP's PBT, or AMT's RPT, and most programs are built to prepare you for one of them.

The program is based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Check with the school which campus or clinical site your cohort actually meets at, as it is not always the main address.
