ASCP stands for the American Society for Clinical Pathology. This is a professional organization for laboratory professionals and pathologists that has worldwide reach. ASCP has over 20 different certification options that you can pursue in the United States. These are sought after professional certifications because they provide an easy way to show your employer or a potential employer that you're skilled in the areas that you need to be to do your job well. When you sign up for a Pittsburgh ASCP certification class, you'll be able to get help preparing for whatever ASCP test you've decided to take. This is a list that includes widely taken exams like the Histotechnician (HT), Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA), Phlebotomy Technician (PBT), and Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS).
ASCP exams are administered through a system called computer adaptive testing. This means that the difficulty level of the questions that you're asked on your exam will vary based on the accuracy of the previous responses that you've provided. For example, if you get a question correct, then the next question that you're shown will be more difficult and vice versa. Depending on the specific exam that you take, you'll be tasked with answering between 80 and 100 questions and will have a time limit ranging from two hours to two hours and thirty minutes.
A course will give you the opportunity to review the most challenging parts of your exam with an instructor who is an expert on ASCP content. Your course will take place on a powerful virtual learning platform that replicates the traditional classroom learning experience in a convenient online environment. You'll learn through a series of live lectures that are delivered to you and a group of peers who are also preparing for an ASCP test. You can interact with both your educator and your classmates throughout this process. You'll even be able to request one-on-one assistance from your instructor if you need it.
It's easy to find a course that meets your scheduling needs. There are multiple options to choose from which meet at various times throughout the week. When you reach out to us, we can help you select the course that allows you to get the academic assistance that you're looking for without having to rearrange the other important parts of your life to do so.
If you're a professional in one of the fields covered by ASCP, then earning one of their certifications is a smart way to take the next step towards your career goals. Pittsburgh ASCP certification training is a unique way to prepare for the exam that you'll need to take to earn the certification that you want. Do you think that you would benefit from having this type of assistance with your test preparation process? If so, reaching out directly to Varsity Tutors is the fastest way to get started. We hope to hear from you soon and look forward to working with you as you pursue your ASCP goals.
