Before you can sit your ASCP exam, you'll need to satisfy a few prerequisites set forth by the Board of Certification. Remember, there are over 20 different U.S. ASCP certification options, so these requirements can vary drastically. You may be able to choose between a number of different prerequisite "routes" in order to become eligible for your certification. For example, the Phlebotomy Technician certification (PBT) gives you two choices for satisfying the prerequisites. You can either submit your high school diploma and rack up a certain amount of experience, or complete an RN or LPN education program. If you've already earned your RN or LPN qualification at an institute such as the UCLA School of Nursing, you're good to go.

On the other hand, a bachelor's degree or equivalent is a prerequisite for the Medical Laboratory Scientist certification (MLS). If you've already obtained your bachelor's degree at a university such as the University of Southern California, you're all set. If you've got your sights set on the Histotechnician certification (HT), you'll need to complete sixty semester hours of credit from a university, college, or an associate program, with a focus on Biology and Chemistry. The Medical Laboratory Technician certification (MLT) certification has a similar prerequisite, and also requires sixty hours of credit from a university or college. Those are just four of the most notable ASCP certifications, and as we've mentioned, there are many others. Regardless of which one you're targeting, your instructor can help you understand the prerequisites you need to fulfill.

Your instructor can also help you understand the format and structure of your final ASCP exam, which is an important part of the certification process. Although the exact parameters of your assessment can vary depending on which certification you're earning, all tests use the Computerized Adaptive Testing system, otherwise known simply as CAT. If you're not familiar with the CAT system, your instructor can help you understand exactly what it is, and how to approach it effectively. As the name suggests, your exam will adapt to your answers as you progress through the exam. Answer questions correctly, and you'll face tougher and tougher questions. Continuously answer questions incorrectly, and you'll face easier and easier questions. In the end, you're assessed based on how difficult your questions were. In addition to helping you with the CAT system, your instructor can also help you prepare for the 2.5-hour time limit and the 100 questions you'll face, which is the standard format for most assessments. Time-management skills are important as you strive to stay within these time limits, and your instructor can definitely help you develop these skills.

Your instructor can also provide you with an in-depth review of all the various concepts and skills that may appear on your exam. Regardless of which certification you're focusing on, your Los Angeles ASCP certification course instructor can help you gain a deep understanding of the specific topics you need to study. If you're prepping for the MLS test, you can cover topics such as blood banking and body fluids. If you're studying for the PBT exam, you could review concepts like the circulatory system and laboratory operations. Instructors can also help you review for the HT test, going over subjects like fixation, processing, Microtomy, and much more. Regardless of what you need to cover, you can depend on your instructor to help you approach your upcoming assessment with a sense of confidence and preparedness.

Remember, each instructor is an expert in ASCP-related concepts with strong communication skills. Thanks to an extensive vetting and interview process, each instructor is totally qualified to help students review even the most complex concepts. Even though your instructor can explain each of these concepts in a clear, concise manner, you'll still have the opportunity to ask all the questions you need. And if you're still a little confused at the end of your Los Angeles ASCP certification class session, you can contact your instructor can get even more clarification directly.

Your Los Angeles ASCP certification class also encourages collaborative learning, and your classmates will ask questions of their own alongside you.
