We’ll Help You Get Your RPT (Registered Phlebotomy Technician) Qualification

Phlebotomists in Nevada are required to have a Lab Assistant / Office Laboratory Assistant License through the Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Passing your RPT national exam (Registered Phlebotomy Technician) qualifies you for the license.

After successfully completing your Phlebotomy Certification program in Las Vegas in phlebotomy training at Northwest Career College, students will receive a certificate that qualifies you to sit for the RPT exam administered by the American Medical Technologists (AMT).
