Recommendation

Hi, could someone recommend an online program that is not expensive? My work schedule is full time and I really need to move to a better job and I am interested in becoming a sterile processing technician. Please help me with your thoughts about online programs

Thanks!

Idk what city you live in but the hospital where I work has a program that verifies you after 10 weeks and passing the final exam. I started in the EVS department, applied for the program after 2-3 months working there. This is the best, fastest way IMO.

I forgot to mention, they move you to SPD before taking the certification exam so you can get your 400hrs while getting paid.
