John Eggington Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 As 'Fluffy' has been otherwise engaged, I'll present my view; the BBTS certificates are widely recognised in the UK, and I would recommend them to anyone working within the disciplines they cover. In addition, I gave this answer to a, previous, similar question (with respect to the Specialist Certificate in Transfusion Science) 'Those taking the 'BBTS certificate' undertake a single exam, which examines candidates on their specialist knowledge of transfusion science. The topic areas examined match, very closely, those listed at http://www.ascp.org/FunctionalNaviga...ification.aspx, but no equivalence is claimed. It is expected that those taking the exam are HPC (the UK Health Professions Council) registered, with a minimum of 2 years experience in a transfusion laboratory (the experience component is a recommendation, rather than mandatory)'.

David Saikin Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It sounds to me like the BBTS and SBB certifications are very similar . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eggington Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 With respect to the BBTS Specialist Certifcate in transfusion Science; it is currently a 4 paper exam, with all papers being taken on the same day. The first 3 papers are taken by all candidates, the final paper has 2 options; one aimed at those working in 'Testing & Processing' and one aimed at those working in a (UK style) 'blood bank'. There is not much cross-over (in the UK, anyway) between those working in 'patient focused' transfusion, and those working in 'donor/donation focused' transfusion.
