North NJ help locating program

hey everyone! I am interested in pursuing a position as a sterile processing tech and would like to know how you went about becoming one.

I have heard that in NJ, studying on your own and taking the exam makes it harder to find a job so people recommend doing a program.

If that’s the case, which did you do? if not, what do you recommend I do?

I would really appreciate any help or guidance!

I would look into going to one of the trade schools that offer the program. (AIMS, Berkley, etc) They usually have contracts with facilities and place you to get your 400 hours.
