Licensure <br />Licensure Requirements - Continuing Education Courses <br />Continuing education courses in general do not lead to positions in a profession, occupation, <br />trade, or career field requiring licensure. However, continuing education courses allow <br />professionals to maintain their license on an annual cycle. It is the responsibility of the student <br />to complete appropriate continuing education courses to earn CE's to maintain their licensure <br />and to submit documentation to the relevant agency to support their career field. Some <br />courses under continuing education lead to a Certificate of Continuing Education and are <br />awarded continuing education credit consistent with the approving agency. Other continuing <br />education courses lead to a Certificate of Completion only with no continuing education credit. <br />These certificates allow the license to maintain their license through their appropriate licensing <br />agency. See Appendix B. Completion Documents for Continuing Education Courses. The <br />Director of Clinical Education provides oversight and approval on certificates. <br />Licensure Requirements - Phlebotomy Technician I <br />In order for graduates in the Limited Phlebotomy Technician and Certified Phlebotomy <br />Technician I program to receive a license from the California Department of Public Health — <br />Laboratory Field Services (CDPH-LFS) to be able to work in a phlebotomy/lab setting, all the <br />graduates must apply online with CDPH-LFS.
