Start enrollmentCan these materials help with CRCST and CBSPD?
Students have passed both exams using TSP materials. Our lessons cover shared sterile processing fundamentals. Choose the CRCST or CBSPD Technician pathway for your diagnostic, practice exams, and flashcards. The CBSPD technician credential is CSPDT.
Do I need the full program or just study tools?
Choose the Self-Paced Program for guided lessons and instructor support. If you already understand the material, use the practice library to apply it and flashcards to strengthen recall. The diagnostic can help you choose.
What is included in the Self-Paced Program?
One year of access to video lessons, study guides, 652 practice questions, 450 flashcards, and instructor support. Career-readiness guidance and the enrolled-student community board are also included. Non-certified sterile processing job opportunities are posted as they become available. Employer requirements vary; access does not guarantee placement.
Can I change how I study the flashcards?
Yes. Switch between flip cards, matching, type recall, and quick quiz using the same 450-card deck.
Does purchasing study tools register me for an exam?
No. Certification exam applications and fees are separate. Apply directly to HSPA for CRCST or CBSPD for CSPDT and confirm your eligibility with that organization.
Is passing guaranteed?
No. TSP provides preparation and support. Your results depend on your knowledge, preparation, and exam performance. The certifying organization determines certification.
