Varsity Tutors can help pathologists and laboratory professionals prepare for certification in the American Society for Clinical Pathology, or ASCP, by getting them enrolled in excellent Orlando ASCP certification training. The benefits of getting ASCP certified could include a higher salary, career advancement, and maybe even an edge on the competition while applying for a new position. There are over 20 different U.S. ASCP certification options that a course could help you to prepare for. Obtaining one of these certifications helps demonstrate your skills and efficiency in essential medical laboratory tasks.
While there are multiple options for an ASCP certification exam, the 4 highest-volume ones are the Phlebotomy Technician, Histotechnician, Medical Laboratory Assistant, and Medical Laboratory Scientist. Each exam varies a bit in terms of length, but in general, they will present you with between 80 and 100 questions in which you will have around 2 to 2.5 hours to complete. Each exam has its own set of prerequisites as well, and most will require a combination of education and experience to qualify. The Computer Adaptive Testing format of these exams means that each correct answer you provide will be followed by a more difficult question, while incorrect answers will result in the next question being a bit easier. Should you finish your exam early, you will be able to use any extra time to review and change any answers.
While the knowledge you received through your years of school and on-the-job experience will be beneficial, there may be concepts presented on the exam that you have not used often or recently. An Orlando ASCP certification course can help you to gain a more comprehensive review of each concept presented on the exam, as opposed to the one you may be able to get on your own. In these collaborative and interactive group courses, you will work in a virtual classroom with other professionals who are working towards the same certification goals that you are. You will be led by a qualified instructor who can provide insight into the exam and conduct an effective and efficient review. Your instructor can lead the group in engaging lectures and discussions and may provide group exercises to help you learn from your peers. You might even pick up some new study skills or test-taking strategies from the group. In addition to the concepts that you will face on the exam, your instructor may provide you with some helpful tips on taking the exam, such as time management or the best ways to handle a difficult question. If you run into a concept that you would like a little further insight on, you can request additional one-on-one time with your instructor to review especially challenging concepts more thoroughly.
We understand that it can be difficult to try to fit additional study times into a schedule that is already packed with work and social commitments. That is why we make it easy with convenient online sessions that you can log into from anywhere. No additional commute needed means you can spend more time working through your Orlando ASCP certification training and less time planning out your day. New courses are starting monthly, they are held at a variety of times to fit any busy schedule, and you can choose between two- or four-week sessions depending on your needs.
Whatever your career goals, you can get enrolled in a prep class to match the certification that you are working towards. Our educational consultants can help find the right upcoming class to fit your schedule and needs. Reach out to Varsity Tutors today to get enrolled in an Orlando ASCP certification class that will help you as you reach for your goals.

Work hard in silence, let success make the noise. A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. Luck favors the prepared. As an educator the most dangerous phrase you can ever say is, "We have always done it that way."
