Certified Repository Technician Program
ISBER recognizes that a need exists for broadly available, consistent education and training opportunities for repository technicians. The Certified Repository Technician training will ensure that those who desire it can have access to a body of knowledge that will support their understanding of successful strategies for supporting the collection, processing, storage and dissemination of high quality biospecimens for research.

To this aim, the Society is partnering with the Board of Certification of the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) to explore the feasibility of developing what is being called a Certification Program for Repository Technicians. Successful participants in the program will be certified for their acquisition of knowledge essential to repository operations.
