This may have been covered already, please accept my apologies for a
repeat question. I was curious if anyone knows if you can upgrade a
technologist (FL state license only, grandfathered in so NO ASCP)
license WITHOUT a 4 year degree? The work experience is 10+ years but
this person does NOT have a 2 or 4 year degree of any kind. I know the
laws constantly change, was just curious about the current ones, I am
not familiar with ASCP guidelines for FL. 
Thank you in advance.
Marie
