Patsy,
What about veterinary histology in the U.S? Does that require ASCP
certification? When I did veterinary histo not everyone was ASCP certified
however they were eligible.

		Dana,
		I am sorry you were treated badly, there is no reason for it
and please
		don't judge the rest of us by this person.  Contact ASCP at
www.ascp.org
		and look under the board of registry for details on
registering for the
		ASCP HT/HTL from South Africa.  With your background ASCP
registration may
		not be required to work at some places in the USA.  It
depends on the
		institution and with todays staff shortages some have to be
a little more
		open in background training acceptance issues.  Often
foreign training and
		education is not accepted by ASCP to register unless you
came from a place
		that was CAP certified.
