I was curious if anyone knows if you can upgrade a technologist (FL state license only, grandfathered in so NO ASCP) license WITHOUT a 4 year degree? The work experience is 10+ years but this person does NOT have a 2 or 4 year degree of any kind. I know the laws constantly change, was just curious about the current ones, I am not familiar with ASCP guidelines for FL. Thank you in advance.
