What the Hawaii data shows for Phlebotomists

Hawaii's path to phlebotomist licensure runs through 1,000 hours of approved instruction and a passing score on a state-approved exam, plus a criminal history screening. Hawaii folds the credential into its broader occupational licensing statute, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

Budget $100 to get started on a 2-year cycle. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Hawaii, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

There's no published reciprocity list here - Hawaii reviews out-of-state credentials individually.
