Programs are accredited, not certified.

Hey Leah--
Programs are certified and certification is maintained by NAACLS. If a
school doesn't apply and go through the process or is not recertified when
their renewal is due, they aren't accredited. ASCP requires
accredited education. It's like a lab and the CAP or JCAHO....it takes
time and a lot of effort and additional costs to be certified.
You can get the education and be well-qualified to do the work through
other programs, but why would you go through all that effort and expense
if you can't sit for the 'gold standard' of the ASCP exam??
The links above will help--give me a call if you need more!

You do really want to work through an accredited program. Several are
internet-based including the one out of Hartford CT and another out of
Indiana University.

Go to the NACCLS web site and there you will find all the certified
programs.
Sometimes a program exists but has not the certification for internal
reasons.

How do we know what histology programs or schools can get us the ASCP?
Phoenix
College has a program but it's not on the NSH list of schools. Is there a
reason for that?
