Pierpont BOG AAS

[Faceparade]

For TESU it costs a $75 application fee plus a $75 TECEP test to become enrolled for a year. To extend each additional year, take another TECEP. They also have a $300 credit banking option, but it's cheaper to become an enrolled student.

I’m looking to get ceritified as a Histotechnician from ASCP.

If you search for “transcript” on the page you’ll see the requirements. Actually now that I think about it, only COSC meets the accreditation requirements. And Pierpont as well.

That document doesn't talk about the cert you're trying for. Where it does talk about transcripts and accreditation, it only says it has to be RA, nothing else special that would keep TESU from being an option.

Page 5-6 HT cert
Page 21 accreditation

Maybe you linked the wrong document? Page 5 talks about a cert for ROUTINE HISTOTECHNOLOGY but it requires a bachelor's degree, says m nothing about an associate's option, and there is no page 21. Page 7 lists the accreditation requirements but it's just the regular list of regional accreditors which certainly includes TESU.

Hm, weird. Here’s a quote:

At least 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of academic credit from a regionally accredited college/university, with a combination of 12 semester hours (18 quarter hours) of biology and chemistry (must include credit hours in both), or an associate degree from a regionally accredited college/university, with a combination of 12 semester hours (18 quarter hours) of biology and chemistry (must include credit hours in both),
• AND one year of full time acceptable experience in a histopathology (clinical, veterinary, industry or research) laboratory in the U.S., Canada or an accredited laboratory* within the last five years.

As far as TESU qualifying, you’re totally right. It’s fine.
