Distance Learning Available On-Line

CAMLT maintains an ongoing program of Distance Learning courses. There are many 1, 2 and 3 CE courses covering a variety of topics and levels of difficulty listed on our Distance Learning page. Most of the courses can be completed "on-line" or printed and submitted via mail or fax to our office in Fremont. Payment for the courses can be by PayPal, credit card or check. Have you tried CAMLT's Distance Learning courses? This is a great way to pick up those last minute CE units if you find yourself short at license renewal time or to earn those CE when you can't attend a seminar program. Check out the full list of available courses here or by clicking on the menu link on the top left of the page - Continuing Education/Distance Learning Courses

California CLS Licensing

Laboratory Field Services has now certified several national examinations as acceptable for CA licensing. Applicants will still need apply to LFS and pay the license processing fee, are still required to meet California training standards, and also to pass a short on-line quiz testing their knowledge of State Law. For additional information check the Our Professions section of this website.

Staggered License Renewal for CLS Personnel

Clinical Laboratory Scientists with "even year" birthdays are now on a full two-year cycle, which requires 24 CE to renew their license by their birthday in 2010.

CLSs with "odd year" birthdates should have renewed by December 31st, 2007 and the renewal will extend to their birthday in 2009. Renewal in 2009 will require 12 CE (taken between 1/1/2008 and the birthday expiration in 2009). That renewal will be for a two-year period expiring on the birth date in 2011. Once you are on a full two-year cycle it will require 24 CE to renew your license (in 2011).

If you are close to renewal and don't yet have the required units, CAMLT's Distance Learning is an excellent way to get those needed units. There is a variety of course topics and many of the courses can be completed on-line. Use the menu link above or click here to access our Distance Learning course list.
