[Histonet] ASCP Route 2 HT Certification

2011-05-04 Thread Eric Velazquez
Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me with the following questions:

1) What happens to the money if I were to submit my transcript and my fees
for the exam and end up not qualifying? Do I lose my money or is it credited
for when I do qualify?
2) How do I determine what classes are considered BIO and Chem? Does the
prefix for the course ID have to contain BIO or Chem?
3) Can the courses taken be similar? Example: School A: I took Chem10: Intro
to Chemistry  School B: Chm:3 Chemistry basics. If these classes are
interchangeable between schools do they still count or does it have to be a
more difficult chemistry course for it to qualify?
4)Is there anyway to check if you do qualify before paying exam fees?
5)Do you have to pass the class with a C or higher? I took a BIO class years
ago and received a D, but I was given the credited hours for the course.


Route 2 for HT certification for ASCP
At least 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of academic credit from a
regionally accredited college/university, with a combination of 12 semester
hours (18 quarter hours) of biology and chemistry, or an associate degree
from a regionally accredited college/university, with a combination of 12
semester hours (18 quarter hours) of biology and chemistry, AND one year
full time acceptable experience in a histopathology (clinical, veterinary,
industry or research) laboratory in the U.S., Canada or an accredited
laboratory* within the last ten years.

Thanks,
Eric

2011-05-04 Thread Eric Velazquez
Thank you for responding. I agree with you that the ASCP would be the best
source of information, but unfortunately I spoke with someone who was in
charge of reviewing the applications. She was unprofessional and offered
little assistance. I will attempt to contact them again, but finding the
time to be placed on hold for 30mins while I am at work is difficult. I was
hoping someone would know from experience or perhaps someone who is involved
with the process would be able to offer some guidance.

First class, first quarter in college. Should have taken it more seriously,
but everyone makes mistakes and learns from them. Thanks for your input.
