Do you need a licence in Georgia?
Georgia 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.
Common questions about Georgia Piedmont Technical College
How much does the Georgia Piedmont Technical College phlebotomy program cost?
Tuition runs $600 to $1,200. That figure is what the school publishes for the program itself; textbooks, scrubs, a background check, and the certification exam fee are usually billed separately, so ask for a full cost sheet before you enrol. This program reports that financial aid options are available to students who qualify.
How long is the Georgia Piedmont Technical College phlebotomy program?
The program runs one semester. Phlebotomy is one of the fastest routes into healthcare — most programs finish in a few weeks to a single semester, far short of a two-year degree. Clinical externship hours are part of that time, not an extra step afterwards.

What certification does Georgia Piedmont Technical College prepare you for?
The program prepares students to sit for PBT. Certification is awarded by the certifying body after you pass its exam, not by the school — finishing the program makes you eligible to test.
Is Georgia Piedmont Technical College accredited?
This program lists accreditation or approval from NAACLS. Accreditation status can change, so verify it directly with the accrediting body before you pay anything.
Does the Georgia Piedmont Technical College program include a clinical externship?
Yes. An externship puts you in a real lab or draw station with live patients, which is what most employers and — in regulated states — the certifying body want to see.
Where is Georgia Piedmont Technical College located?
The program is based in Clarkston, Georgia. Check with the school which campus or clinical site your cohort actually meets at, as it is not always the main address.
