Award-Winning ASCP Board of Certification - American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification Certification Training in Philadelphia, PA

No matter which American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) certification test that you are preparing to take, Varsity Tutors can sign you up for top-notch Philadelphia ASCP certification training sessions that dive deep into the material covered on your exam. The ASCP is the largest professional organization to offer certification to pathologists and laboratory professionals. There are over 20 ASCP certifications that you can choose from, such as the Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) certification, the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) certification, the Histotechnician (HT) certification, and the Phlebotomy Technician (PBT) certification. Obtaining a certification could broaden the professional opportunities you can apply for, as well as assist you in negotiating a better salary. Whether you're fresh from Penn Nursing or you took courses at Temple University, an online Philadelphia ASCP certification class can give you a leg up through an in-depth review of the exam.

Each ASCP certification exam has different requirements, though they also offer multiple "Routes" to eligibility. For instance, the PBT exam requires that you complete a program at a nursing school, though you can also take it if you have a high school diploma and professional experience. Typically, you will need to have a mix of training, experience, and education. Each exam is administered using a Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) system. While most of the certification tests have 100 questions with a 2.5-hour time limit, there are some exceptions. The PBT, for example, has only 80 questions and allows you two hours to complete it, while the DPT (Donor Phlebotomy Technician) has 90 questions and allows 2.5 hours for completion. Philadelphia ASCP certification training can help you prepare for the time constraints and format of the exam for which you need to prepare.

There are many benefits associated with professional ASCP certification prep. Your Philadelphia ASCP certification course instructor can walk you and your peers through the exam requirements, including the types of questions, concepts, and skills that it covers. They might spend a lesson lecturing about the laboratory options that a medical laboratory scientist will need to be capable of. Your classmates may be split into smaller groups for lengthy discussions about molecular genetics, donor qualifications, specimen quality assessment strategies and more. In-depth group review can help you work toward a deeper understanding of the material while allowing you to exchange knowledge with others.

In addition to an in-depth review of the content, a Philadelphia ASCP certification class can go beyond reviewing the topics and skills needed to succeed on your certification exam. They can introduce you to test-taking strategies and techniques that can allow you to work confidently through the test. For example, time management techniques can help make sure you have enough time to complete all of the questions. In addition, you and your peers might discuss different ways to approach the types of problems you can expect to see.

Each lesson is conducted online, allowing you to participate in Philadelphia ASCP certification training from anywhere that you have access to the internet. Since you don't have to travel, this is a convenient option that fits easily into your schedule. Every month, new courses begin, and are held in multiple time slots. Once you're signed up, you'll log onto the Live Learning Platform to attend class and take part in group activities and real-time discussions about the exam.

Collaborative learning through a Philadelphia ASCP certification course allows you to work towards a common goal with a group of your peers. A comprehensive review of the exam can help you feel more confident as you enter the testing center on the day of your exam.
