If you are a laboratory professional or pathologist seeking assistance as you prepare to take the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) certification exam, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a comprehensive and convenient Omaha ASCP certification course. The American Society of Clinical Pathology is the world's largest professional organization for pathologists and lab professionals, and obtaining your ASCP through the Board of Certification (BOC) affirms that you possess the knowledge and skills to perform essential tasks in a medical laboratory. Enrolling in a test prep course could go a long way to helping you best showcase your professional knowledge and skills when exam time comes around.
There are 20 different ASCP certifications in the US, including Phlebotomy Technician (PBT), Histotechnician (HT), Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT), and Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS), to name a few. There are a number of routes you can follow to be eligible for exam certification, depending on the specific exam you have chosen, and these typically combine different education, experience, and specialized training requirements. Exams are between two and two-and-a-half hours and have between 80 and 100 questions. The ASCP is a wide-ranging exam, and depending on the specific certification you are seeking, it may require you to display knowledge of subjects like blood banking, physiology and pathophysiology, specimen handling, transport and processing, and laboratory operations.
Though you undoubtedly learned a lot during your coursework at a school like Creighton University College of Nursing, or the University of Nebraska College Medical Center, and have learned still more as a laboratory professional, the ASCP can sometimes test you on knowledge and skills you may not use every day. Your Omaha ASCP certification course will be headed up by an instructor with expertise not only in the subject matter but also in the structure of the exam. You will have the opportunity to attend sessions, and share knowledge with, other pathologists and lab professionals. Your instructor can help you cover information pertinent to your particular exam, and share strategies appropriate to an exam like the ASCP, which employs Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT), so more difficult questions follow correct answers, and easier questions follow incorrect answers. In-class discussions mean that you and your classmates can share your experiences, and work collaboratively to cover more ground. Working closely with your instructor and fellow students can keep you engaged and inspired as the sessions progress. And, while collaborative learning offers many such benefits, if you ever feel you need more individualized attention, you can always request a one on one meeting with your instructor.
No matter which of the 20 different ASCP certification options offered in the US you have chosen, trying to find time for test prep, especially when you are already working in the field, can be a challenge. That's why the Omaha ASCP certification training offered by Varsity Tutors is completely online. New classes start each month, so you can begin at any time. You can choose between 2-week and 4-week courses, with different sections meeting at various times to best fit into your schedule.
Because you are meeting online, you can cut down on the commute to your Omaha ASCP certification course. You can save time, and hopefully spare yourself a few headaches. And, what's more, you can attend from anywhere.
No matter what your professional goals may be, enrolling in an Omaha ASCP certification class can aid you in working toward those goals. ASCP certification could result in improved job prospects, a higher salary, or greater job satisfaction, so investing in a comprehensive test prep method is a smart choice. Reach out to the education consultants at Varsity Tutors today to enroll in Omaha ASCP certification training, and you could begin taking classes soon.
