The online Sterile Processing Technician program prepares students to gain industry certification and ultimately to work in hospitals, surgery centers, clinics and other healthcare facilities. Students will learn medical terminology, compliance standards related to the role and differentiate methods for quality control and assurance. Our online Sterile ProcessingTechnician Training identifies the central service workflow processes for cleaning, decontamination, preparation and packaging to sterilization and storage or surgical instruments and equipment. Our highly immersive program utilizes our 12 Elements of eLearning components to keep student engaged, stimulated and entertained throughout their training. Because sterile processing tasks, by nature, typically involve hands-on interaction we placed an increased focus on immersive and high level interactivity courses. Our students feel as though they are part of the process and their physical actions play a vital role in their learning. Upon completion, students are eligible to sit for the provisional certification exam for Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) sponsored by the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). Full certification is obtained after acquiring 400 hours of hands-on sterile processing experience within six months of provisional certification.
