Look under the CLIA regulations about educational requirements for supervisors.

I know of a person acting as a supervisor and claiming they have HTL but CAP actually has no record of them being HTL or any certification at all, so do they even check???

I do not think that is a requirement of CAP.  I have not seen anywhere in the checklist where a histo tech has to be certified.  This is because being a histo tech not considered to be moderate or high complexity testing.

Subject: [Histonet] Are Histology Supervisors required to have HT for CAP

Good morning and Happy Holiday’s:

This may sound like a stupid question, but is it a requirement for histology supervisors to have an HT ASCP Certification for CAP?  For as long as I can remember, I just naturally assumed to be able to pass a CAP inspection, the supervisor had to be HT ASCP Certified.  I ask because I recently came across two labs here in California who’s supervisors are not certified.  I looked up the CAP guidelines and they addressed testing personneL, (pathologists) but couldn’t find information for the supervisor.

Best regards,
Akemi
