To work in Phlebotomy you need either to get a job that has on the job training or attend a college or vocational school that has phlebotomy as a diploma. Some states in the USA do not require any formal phlebotomy experience as the job can be taught with on the job training. However some states require that you attend, pass and receive a certificate from an accredited phlebotomy education program. In the UK there are no formal program only on the job training, and the only requirements are a high school/GCSE's in Math, and English. Hope this has helped.

It is called a Phlebotomist. I am a Certified Phlebotomy Technician through the National Healthcare Association.
An NCA certified phlebotomist has completed a formal training program in phlebotomy and passed the National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA) certification exam. This certification demonstrates proficiency in blood collection techniques, patient interaction, and safety protocols. Additionally, certified phlebotomists are often required to maintain continuing education and adhere to professional standards in their practice.
A phlebotomist typically must spend at least two years in school at a medically centered technical school. One may also obtain training through online schooling and courses as well.
