molly,
ASCP requires that you have experience with doing IHC before you take the
exam.  If you are a mt, htl type you are required to have been doing IHC for 6
mo. before taking the exam, if you are ht, mlt type you are required to have
had 12 mo. of experience in IHC within the last 5 years, if you have a BS
degree or above you must have 18 mo. of IHC experience within the last 5
years.  If you have no experience at all, it would be hard to qualify to take
the exam and I would assume by experience they mean "actually doing IHC
procedures" rather than taking classes.
