If you're a pathologist looking to become ASCP-certified, Varsity Tutors can get you enrolled in a Boulder ASCP certification course that can provide you with the direction of an expert ASCP prep instructor, as well as the mutual support of your classmates. The ASCP, or American Society for Clinical Pathology, is a professional membership organization for pathologists and lab professionals, and getting a certificate from the ASCP can demonstrate to employers that you have the skills needed to perform essential tasks in a lab environment.
There are more than 20 options for ASCP certification in the United States. Some of the most popular include certification as a Phlebotomy Technician, a Histotechnician, a Medical Laboratory Technician, or a Medical Laboratory Scientist, but there are many other specializations. Most, but not all, of the certificates on offer require a degree from a university or a nursing license, as well as at least six month's experience working in a laboratory. However, each of the exams has several "Routes" to certification, which involve different mixes of education, experience, and training, so you have options. The exam you'll face will differ depending on the certificate you're pursuing. For example, if you're taking the test to become a Phlebotomy Technician, you'll have to answer questions relating to the circulatory system, specimen handling, infection control, and so on, while these categories may not appear on other tests.
As certification can be complex, enrolling in Boulder ASCP certification training can be a great idea. If you're ready to take an ASCP exam, you've undoubtedly already got a fair amount of education and experience under your belt, whether you're a graduate of the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, a nursing school at the Metropolitan State University of Denver or the University of Colorado at Denver, or elsewhere. But the exam is comprehensive and may include topics that you haven't had to extensively deal with in the workplace. Your instructor will be able to help you understand the certification process, so you can know what material to study and how to study it. You'll attend classes in an online virtual classroom where your instructor can provide lectures, sample scenarios, and review material, and where you can participate in discussions with other students. Studying alongside your colleagues can bring you into conversation with diverse new viewpoints on the profession that you may not encounter in solitary study, and you'll be able to share your own knowledge with classmates, which can reinforce your understanding of pathology and lab work. An interactive, collaborative study environment like this can make exam prep more engaging, which can enhance your ability to learn new information and retain it in the long term. This may make for easier recall when you sit down for the certification exam. Plus, you'll be able to request one-on-one time with your instructor outside of class, so you can go over any questions that you may have and get difficult material cleared up.
We're aware that as a working professional you likely have a busy schedule, but online Boulder ASCP certification training can make it easier to fit exam review into your day. You'll attend your class via our video chat platform, so you'll be able to work with your instructor and classmates face-to-face without having to add a costly and time-consuming commute to your life. Studying remotely gives you control over your own workspace, too, so whether you prefer to work at a favorite coffee shop, the office, or the comfort of your own home. There are a variety of class times to choose from, and you can pick between two-week and four-week class sections, and new sections start on a monthly basis, so you'll have some flexibility when it comes to scheduling.
If you give Varsity Tutors a call today we can provide you with more information about our offerings and get you signed up for a Boulder ASCP certification class quickly and easily. Certification can mean more job opportunities or potentially a higher income, so reach out now. You may be taking your first steps towards pursuing success on the ASCP certification exam.
