Transcripts must be sent by institutions directly to NRCC. \n\nApplicants with education obtained at institutions of higher education outside the United States or Canada must, at their expense, have credentials evaluated for equivalence by an acceptable evaluation agency for foreign transcript evaluations. The equivalency reports (degrees and courses) should be sent to the NRCC office and will be used to determine whether an applicant meets the NRCC standards for degrees and courses (education and training). Please see the FAQ page for a list of Board approved evaluation agencies. \n\nReports must show course titles and equivalent hours (\"course-by-course evaluation\") and must be sent by evaluation agencies directly to NRCC. \n\nProfessional Experience Requirements \nThe National Registry of Certified Chemists Toxicological Chemist certification is a professional certification for residents of the United States and Canada. At this time, we are not accepting applicants who reside in or are employed in other countries. \nCandidates must have a minimum of 3 years of experience acquired within the last 5 years before application. \nExperience must be achieved in broad clinical toxicological chemistry testing areas in an appropriately accredited high-complexity laboratory (CLIA), performing diagnostic and/or forensic toxicology testing. The ideal candidate will have general laboratory experience that includes clinical chemistry assays, operation of a Quality Management System, staffing, acquiring new instrumentation, implementation of new assays, and familiarity with LIS/Clinical Laboratory Information Systems. The Board reserves the right to reject candidates with a limited range of experience in these areas. \nThe Board will NOT consider research laboratory experience (academic research labs, veterinary labs, industry R\u0026D labs, clinical trial laboratories, etc.) or experience acquired in non-clinical chemistry/toxicology laboratories (genetics, cytology, microbiology, etc.). A broad area of experience is expected, achieved in high complexity laboratory and in Pre-analytical/Analytical and Post Analytical processes. Please refer to the application form and the reference form for categories of experience. \nApplications must include a detailed statement (please refer to \"Personal statement\") and describe the applicant's experience and interest in toxicological chemistry/toxicology and reasons for seeking certification. See application form for details. \nCandidates must fulfill BOTH the educational and professional experience requirements at the time of application."},"ceterms:industryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.census.gov/naics/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.census.gov/naics/?input=325\u0026year=2022\u0026details=325","ceterms:codedNotation":"325","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"NAICS"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chemical Manufacturing"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Chemical Manufacturing"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.census.gov/naics/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.census.gov/naics/?input=541\u0026year=2022\u0026details=541","ceterms:codedNotation":"541","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"NAICS"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services"}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.census.gov/naics/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.census.gov/naics/?input=551\u0026year=2022\u0026details=551","ceterms:codedNotation":"551","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"NAICS"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Management of Companies and Enterprises"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Management of Companies and Enterprises"}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-1021.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-1021.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Biochemists and Biophysicists"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Study the chemical composition or physical principles of living cells and organisms, their electrical and mechanical energy, and related phenomena.
