Varsity Tutors provides a comprehensive online Denver ASCP certification course that can help you reach for academic success. The ASCP, or American Society for Clinical Pathology, is an organization that offers more than 20 certifications affirming an individual's competency to perform essential tasks in a medical laboratory. Earning one of these certifications could lead to increased employment opportunities, higher salaries, or greater career satisfaction. First of all, each certification has a number of "routes" you need to follow to qualify to take an exam. These prerequisites range from earning a degree from an educational institution such as the University of Denver or the University of Colorado Denver to a minimum amount of relevant work experience. Trusting us with your test prep could be your first step toward a more exciting future.
We provide separate Denver ASCP certification training courses for each certification option, allowing you to study for the specific exam you're planning to take. For example, a candidate preparing for the Histotechnician (HT) certification test might review topics such as pertinent laboratory regulations, the morphology and anatomy of tissues, and procedures involved in the staining process. There is a lot of material to cover, so your instructor might teach you mnemonic devices to make rote memorization a little easier. You might also go over active reading strategies such as note-taking to help you study more efficiently.
A professional instructor can also help you understand the specific formatting of the test you plan to take. Most ASCP certification tests contain 100 questions over a two and a half hour testing session, but there are exceptions to this general rule. For instance, the Phlebotomy Technician (PBT) exam contains 80 questions over a testing session of two hours. You might take practice tests during your Denver ASCP certification training to help you understand what any test expects of you. Once you understand your areas of academic strengths and any topics where you have room to improve, you may choose to request additional study time with your instructor to address your relative weaknesses.
We thoroughly vet every instructor, so you can trust that all of the info you receive in your course is completely up-to-date. Our exclusive Live Learning Platform also leverages powerful features such as video chat functionality to allow you to see and hear everyone in your virtual classroom as if you were sharing the same physical space, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand.
Studying in a collaborative learning environment can also make it easier to learn difficult concepts than it would be on your own. If one of your classmates is having a hard time with concepts on the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) exam, you can try your hand at explaining some things to them to improve both of your understandings. Similarly, hearing a classmate's take on Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) concepts may help them stick in your mind. Your instructor can also use the group setting to their advantage by assigning group assignments to expose you to perspectives different than your own.
We also try to make your test prep as convenient as possible. We offer multiple online courses concurrently, including two- and four-week options to make it easier for working professionals to find something that works for them. We launch new courses on a monthly basis, so you never need to wait too long to get started. Since everything takes place online, there's also no annoying commute to worry about.
