Award-Winning ASCP Board of Certification - American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification Certification Training in Columbus, OH

If you're interested in becoming an ASCP-certified lab technician or pathologist, Varsity Tutors can help you prepare for the exam with a Columbus ASCP certification course. The ASCP, or American Society for Clinical Pathology, is the foremost professional organization for pathologists and other laboratory professionals in the world. A certificate from the organization can be a mark of distinction on your resume, potentially opening up opportunities for advancement, a higher salary, or expanded job prospects. By enrolling in a course you'll get access to lectures from a qualified ASCP prep instructor, as well as the mutual support of other professionals seeking certification.

The content and structure of the exam you'll take will depend on what ASCP certificate you're seeking. There are more than 20 certificates available; some of the most popular include certification as a Histotechnician, a Phlebotomy Technician, a Medical Laboratory Assistant, or a Medical Laboratory Scientist, to name a few. So if you're taking the exam for the Medical Laboratory Scientist certificate, for example, you'll be tested on a variety of content areas, such as Blood Banking, Urinalysis, Immunology, Microbiology, and more, whereas others, like the Specialist in Blood Banking certificate, may be much more focused on a specific field. The prerequisite qualifications to take these exams vary from certificate to certificate, too. Almost all require at least six month's professional experience. Many require a bachelor's degree, while others require you to have graduated from a nursing school. In each case there are several "Routes" to the certification. Each Route involves a different mix of education, training, and experience, so you'll have options in how you approach your certification.

If you meet the qualifications for an ASCP exam you're likely already very proficient in your field, but the certification process can be complex and confusing, and you may not have had the chance to use all of the skills you'll be tested on very extensively. This is one of the ways that Columbus ASCP certification training can help. Your instructor can provide you with information about what you can expect to see on the exam and what material is most crucial for you to review, and can acclimate you to the test through lessons and sample questions and scenarios. They can also lead class discussions where you can be exposed to diverse viewpoints from other pathologists and lab professionals from all walks of life, giving you more perspective on the material. You'll be able to share your own knowledge in discussions, too, which can reinforce your skills. Collaborative learning environments like this can keep you engaged in the ASCP exam prep process and have been shown to improve learning outcomes. Your instructor will also be able to go over difficult material with you outside of class, so you can clear up particularly tough questions you have.

We're aware that many professionals have busy work lives and many personal commitments.
