As a medical laboratory technician, you may or may not choose to become nationally certified. However, some organizations may require you to be registered or eligible for registration before being hired or soon after being offered the position. Some nationally recognized certification agencies include the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), the American Medical Technologists (AMT), and the National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA). These agencies provide certification programs that showcase an individual's competence and expertise in medical laboratory technology. Let the interviewer know where you are in the registration process and your plans for registration if you have not already done so.

"Yes, I am credentialed through the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). I took and passed the test shortly after obtaining my associate's degree three years ago."

"Yes, I am. I registered with American Medical Technologists (AMT). I knew before starting college that being registered with AMT would be something I needed to do when eligible, as most employers require this designation."

"I have been registered with the National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA) since I started working as a lab tech eight years ago. The program I went through required all students to take the certification and credentialing exam with the NCA before graduating. In another two years, I will renew my accreditation with the NCA."
