NCA Certificants Welcomed to ASCP Board of Certification

The ASCP BOC welcomes the laboratory professionals previously certified by the National Credentialing Agency (NCA) and subsequently transferred to the BOC to log in and explore the ASCP BOC website. Since the NCA and the ASCP Board of Registry unified to form the Board of Certification (BOC), those laboratory professionals who may have been more accustomed to visiting the NCA website for various support services are now encouraged to establish an online account with the ASCP BOC website to meet all of their online needs.

The ASCP BOC would like to make this a pleasant transition for those laboratory professionals previously certified by the NCA; as such, we have attempted to make this easier for you by already creating an online account. Those individuals previously certified by the NCA can complete the set up of their online account by verifying their most current information in order to ensure the BOC records are accurate.

Once the ASCP BOC online account is established, one can declare their CMP fulfillment and explore other benefits should they choose.

If you know your NCA certification number, or if you have your NCA wallet card ready, click here to begin.
