Or, Candidates must have acquired a minimum of 90 quarter hours or 60 semester hours in an accredited university or college, to include 12 semester hours of chemistry and biology, or possess an Associate degree from an accredited university or college with a combination of 18 quarter chemistry and of biology, plus a 1 year experience in histopathology 
Candidates must also have acquired experience within the past 10 years in any of the following areas; Fixation, Processing, Microtomy and Staining.They define "FT" employment and sliding scale for PT work in the materials.What is on the exam is outlined completely on the BOC page and in this guideline/outline- http://www.ascp.org/PDF/ExaminationContentGuidelinesHT.aspx

> Hi,
>     I have a question about the training requirement for the HT Certification Test. My question is, will the ASCP allow a guy who works as a lab assistant in the histology lab andintends to train as an histotech for one and half hour a day for twelve months to sit for the test?
