Certification Examination Information
Additional Information needed for certification examinations will be distributed to students at orientation sessions.
Applications are available at the following websites:
NCA: http://www.nca-info.org/
ASCP: http://www.ascp.org/FunctionalNavigation/certification.aspx
We recommend that students take both the NCA and ASCP examinations because
- A student may pass one and not the other
- Students will never again be this well prepared in all areas - now is the best time to get a generalist credential
- The exams are constructed somewhat differently - you may do better in one format or the other
- It's an investment in the future of the profession.
