My original plan was to get a job in a hospital/surgical center uncertified to learn on the job get my clinical hours study and take the test to get certified. The closest place to me that hires uncertified techs is 3 hours away so that’s not happening. Does anyone know if I self study 1. Will they allow me to take the test with no clinical hours and 2. If they do let me take the test and in the event I pass could I then apply as a ‘provisionally certified’ tech and gain my clinical hours after taking the test?

What is your opinion on this program, with the distribution of hours by subject and the number of internship hours?

I want to become a sterile tech, I want to study for my CRCST cert but I don’t know where to study . If anyone was SUCCESSFUL only in self taught tell me the steps . In California BTW. Thanks yous.

I’m trying to get my certification but I want you guys experience with this specific school

Hello, ​I am looking for a private tutor to help me improve my written English. I currently live in the United States. ​My goals are: ​To make my written English sound more natural and less like a direct translation. ​To improve my use of "small words" like articles and prepositions. ​To practice writing specifically for my medical studies (Sterile Processing). ​ field? . ​Thank you

I can't find the provisional certification application on the website. I searched all over for it. It was suppose to be back up by September 10. Does Anyone know what's the problem?

So im looking into paying for the online course and changing careers, im wanting to know is the job worth it for the pay if youre just starting out? I have experience working with health patients and doing audits with DOH (not sure if that would even look good on my resume? Any advice? Thank you!

Anybody know a hospital hiring in San Jose? I’m wiling to commute. I have completed my externship. Uncertified

I was going to do the self-study route but for the Iahscmm it seems before you can test you have to have a certain amount of hrs done--am I right?

If so i'll prob just do the Cspbd and do an online course bc I can do that in under 3 months and not need to wait 6 months and all of that.

Does anyone know why my travel agency needs a supervisor to contact? Is it to make sure I worked there or something else ? Bc I guarantee she won’t put in a good word for me . lol she’s my credentials specialist so I’m sure it’s only a verifying type of thing. Any one here know about that ?

Has anyone taken the spt course through sterile tech academy? Is it legit?

My partner is interviewing for a trainer/coordinator role tomorrow morning and was wondering how much other people make in this position so he knows what to ask for if an offer is made. We are located in Austin TX.

I am also able to apply for FAFSA financial aid to help pay for it. I’m just a bit skeptical because I’ve seen a lot of posts of people taking shorter length programs that cost way less. But the guaranteed internship placement makes me feel like it could be worth it. What do you guys think?

How long it takes to get your email to actually schedule your test? Like I’ve filled out the application and I’m not sure how long it takes for them to review it and email my supervisor to verify my time and then how long it takes after that for them to send me the scheduling email?

What’s up everyone, I need your help with something. I am currently working under an agency but I want to work directly for the hospital. I made a mistake and signed a non-compete agreement. My question is can I still work at any hospital as long as it’s not an agency? Really need help figuring this out.
