I work in a CLIA certified lab. 
  
I do not know how different CAP is, but here is what CLIA requires for High complexity testing personnel: 
  

  
TESTING PERSONNEL (42 CFR 493 1489) 
1. Licensed MD, DO or DPM. 
2. Doctorate, master's, or bachelor's in laboratory science. 
3. Associate degree in laboratory science or 
♦ 60 semester hours including 24 semester hrs of medical lab technology; or, ♦ 60 semester hrs including 24 hrs of science that includes 6 hrs chemistry, 6 hrs biology, and 12 hrs chemistry, biology or, medical lab tech in any combination and laboratory training that includes either: 
♦completion of a clinical lab training program or 
♦3 months training in each specialty in which high complexity testing is performed, 
4. Previously qualified or could have qualified as a technologist under federal regulations prior to February 28,1992(42CFR493,1491). 
  
  
  
Hope this helps! BTW, they are very strict about checking your high complexity testing personnel records!
