What the Utah data shows for Phlebotomists

Utah'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. Utah folds the credential into its broader occupational licensing statute, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

Upfront cost is $100 on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Utah, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

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