WCCCD has a phlebotomy technician program, through which you can earn a certificate. After earning that, you can become licensed. My mother's currently in her final semester and about to start her clinicals at Herman Keifer [Detroit] in October. The only campus that offers the actual PLB classes is the NorthWest campus in Detroit, though you can take the other required classes, like ALH 110, anywhere they're offered. If you have any questions about their program, I can throw them at her.

Washtenaw CC offers one with their non-credit classes (Lifelong learning). I took it last year and was a great experience! If you're a health professional already (i.e. you have your CNA certification) you can do the month-long class for about half the price. Otherwise it's almost a full semester once a week... which I really liked because of all the practice I got. You'll get a certificate of completion but Michigan doesn't require a license so you don't have to worry about becoming officially certified (unless you move to a state that requires it and not many states do).

I think Monroe CC offers one class once a year, too.

Good point about not needing to be licensed. On the other hand, some companies/employers offer higher wages for licensed phleb techs, so getting licensed might or might not be beneficial to you (the OP, I mean).

MaryGrove College in Detroit also offers Phlebtomy courses. If I recall correctly the courses are 6wks each for beginners and advanced. They also have a course to prepare for certification.
