Award-Winning ASCP Board of Certification - American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification Certification Training in Tampa, FL

If you are a pathologist or laboratory professional seeking additional assistance as you prepare for ASCP certification, Varsity Tutors can help by getting you enrolled in comprehensive Tampa ASCP certification training classes. You could gain multiple benefits to obtaining your ASCP, or American Society for Clinical Pathology, certification, such as negotiating a higher salary, advancing in your career, or maybe even having an edge on any competition when applying for new positions. When you have your ASCP certification, it can show potential and current employers that you demonstrate the knowledge and skills to perform essential tasks that are presented to you in the medical laboratory.

There are more than 20 different ASCP certification exams available to laboratory professionals, including the Medical Laboratory Scientist and Histotechnician exams. Each exam has its own set of prerequisites, but generally, they require a combination of related education and on-the-job experience and the majority of them require a bachelor's degree. The exams vary in length but will have between 80 and 100 questions and last from 2 to 2.5 hours to complete. If you have additional time at the end of your exam, you can use that time to go back and review or change answers for completed questions. Working with a Tampa ASCP certification class can help you to review concepts that you may face on the exam that you have not had the opportunity to practice often or for a while, such as blood banking for the Medical Laboratory Technician exam or specimen handling for the Phlebotomy Technician exam.

Though your years in a program at a school, such as the University of Tampa or the University of South Florida, and your experience while working on-the-job have surely taught you the majority of the skills you will need for the ASCP, doing a full, well-rounded review right before you take your test can help you to refresh your memory on concepts that you have not practiced recently.

This is where a Tampa ASCP certification course can be especially beneficial. Working alongside a group of professionals who are working towards a similar career path as you, you will review things like laboratory operations, laboratory terminology, and specimen quality assessment. Your experienced instructor will lead the class in engaging lectures and discussions and may organize group activities and projects to help you with information retention. In addition to covering the skills and concepts that will be presented to you on the exam, your teacher could also help you with test-taking strategies, such as time management. If you find yourself needing some clarification on any particularly tricky sections of the review, you can request one-on-one time to go over things more thoroughly with your instructor.

While finding the time to adequately prepare for such an important exam may seem daunting, the convenience of these courses being offered entirely online makes it easy to fit some study time into any busy schedule. You can sign in to your sessions from wherever you are, eliminating the need for any extra commutes in your day. There are new sessions starting monthly, they are held at a variety of times to work around professional or personal commitments, and you can choose between a two- or four-week session depending on your needs and the time you have available before you test day.

The review and insight you could gain with one of these exam prep courses could give you the confidence to reach for your professional goals.
