The ESCCA Education, Certification & Quality Assessment Committee is aware of the technical complexity and constant evolution of cytometry instrumentation and its applications, requiring constant training and education. These issues have been covered traditionally by the Education Activities incorporated in the ESCCA Conferences and, by the ESCCA International and Local Schools on Cytometry.

The final goal of the educational efforts of ESCCA is to help ESCCA members, and especially the young ones, to attain excellence in their work in cytometry, be it in the clinical or in the basic fields. In order to provide our members with a means to certify their knowledge and skill in clinical flow cytometry, the ESCCA Education, Certification & Quality Assessment Committee provides the European Cytometry Certificate.

ESCCA attest the level of excellence of cytometrists through an examination. For more information on the levels of certifcation and the conditions for taking the exam, please see the ESCCA Certification Exam page.
