Medical Laboratory Technician (ASCP MLT) Prep

Master the essential clinical laboratory competencies required to excel on the ASCP Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) certification examination.

This comprehensive prep curriculum aligns directly with the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) MLT exam content outline across all major diagnostic domains. Learners will review high-yield concepts in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, microbiology, body fluids, and lab operations through clinically integrated scenarios. Designed for graduating MLT students and candidate technicians, this course reinforces diagnostic proficiency, quality assurance, and analytical problem-solving. Every lesson includes tutor notes, a video, a hands-on lab, exercises and a 12-question quiz you must pass at 80%, followed by a pooled final exam and free and paid practice tests. Erudex is independent and not affiliated with ASCP Board of Certification.
