The NHA Phlebotomy Technician Certification Exam (CPT) exam is the official National Healthcareer Association (NHA) test registered under exam code Phlebotomy-Technician. Passing it earns you the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) certification, a credential at the Entry-level / Associate level. It is also linked to the related certifications: Certified Medical Assistant (CCMA), Certified Patient Care Technician (CPCT/A). National Healthcareer Association (NHA) exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

The NHA Phlebotomy Technician Certification Exam (CPT) exam includes 120 (100 scored + 20 unscored pretest) questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the NHA Phlebotomy Technician Certification Exam (CPT) exam you need 390 (scaled 200–500), and the official registration fee is $155 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $155 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

High school diploma/GED; completion of approved phlebotomy training within 5 years OR 1 year of supervised work experience within 3 years; minimum 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks on live individuals

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
