This online course is designed to be advanced at your own time. There is no deadlines or a minimum timeframe. We do recommend that you take your time with the textbook, workbook and online videos. From our years of experience, we recommend a steady pace of two chapters a week. This process has proven well for us and our students in classes. But it’s designed to be advanced at your own pace.

You will also be required to volunteer at one of the partner hospitals and complete the 400-hour internship hands-on training. This will help you pass the national exam as well as have you ready to apply for a position as a Sterile Processing Technician.

Once you receive your course material, you will be working to complete the requirements for your certification.

This course will consist of completing your reading, homework, tests while coming into the class 1 day a week to discuss 2 chapters with the instructor. The time needed to keep up with this schedule will require that you dedicate a minimum of 25 hours each week to prepare and be ready for the exam.
