[Histonet] ASCP Route 2 HT Certification

[Rathborne, Toni]

You could email them. It would not be so time consuming, and then you would have proof of an answer should anything be questioned at a later date. Good luck.

Thank you for responding. I agree with you that the ASCP would be the best source of information, but unfortunately I spoke with someone who was in charge of reviewing the applications. She was unprofessional and offered little assistance. I will attempt to contact them again, but finding the time to be placed on hold for 30mins while I am at work is difficult. I was hoping someone would know from experience or perhaps someone who is involved with the process would be able to offer some guidance.
