[Histonet] requirements for certification

[Katelin Lester]

Yes, you are correct. One year OJT plus a BA/BS with required # of
biology/chemistry credits for HTL.  When I tried to call to see if I
qualified they said that they can not tell you over the phone. You have to
apply (and pay the $200) to see if you qualify.
