Sterile Processing Core course; testimonial excerpt

Read full review

I completed the Sterile Processing Core course with Mrs. Shae about a year ago, and it was truly one of the best decisions I made for my career. She broke down every concept clearly and made sure we understood not just what to do, but why it matters.
Even after the course ended, I felt fully prepared to step into the field with confidence. She gave real-world examples, shared helpful tips, and made the class feel comfortable and motivated. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start or strengthen their career in sterile processing.

The study loop inside the program

Take a Quiz Studio set, review the score and rationale, move weak areas into Flashcard Studio, then return to exam-style practice with fewer blind spots.

Certification pathways

Compare CRCST and CSPDT.

Both certifications can lead to employment in sterile processing. The main differences are eligibility, hands-on requirements, and renewal. Start with the requirements of the employers where you want to work.

HSPA and CBSPD are the certifying organizations. CRCST and CSPDT are the credentials you earn.

View both side by side, or tap a certification for a roomier view.

Yes, this program meets CBSPD’s course-completion requirement.

Successfully complete The Sterile Process’s Self-Paced Sterile Processing Program with a passing course grade of 70% or higher to satisfy CBSPD’s training-course eligibility route for the CSPDT exam. The Sterile Process will provide your certificate of completion and grade documentation for your CBSPD exam application.

Submit that documentation with your CBSPD application by its deadline. CBSPD reviews eligibility and awards certification after you pass its exam. The Exam Prep Bundle alone does not provide this course-completion credential.

Which certification should you pursue?

Start with the job

Check your target employers.

Review local job postings for CRCST, CSPDT, HSPA, or CBSPD. Some accept either; others name a specific credential. Match your choice to those requirements.

Considering CRCST?

Plan your 400 hours.

This route may fit when employers request CRCST and you can arrange qualifying experience. Secure a realistic hours plan before taking the provisional exam.

Considering CSPDT?

Use your completed training.

This route may fit when you want to qualify through course completion and your target employers accept CBSPD. You can pursue certification while continuing to build hands-on experience.

Two credentials. A shared career goal.

Both pathways can support applications for sterile processing jobs. For example, a Kaiser Permanente sterile processing posting accepts certification through either organization. Hiring also depends on experience, demonstrated skills, and the facility’s requirements. Neither credential guarantees a job.

Our program supports preparation for both exams, plus resumes, interviews, and a plan for hands-on experience. Your course-completion certificate documents your education; HSPA or CBSPD awards your professional certification. Exam applications and fees are separate from program enrollment.

See an employer example (requirements and availability may change)

Certification and 400 hours

Training is one part of the CRCST path.

The program provides sterile processing education, CRCST exam preparation, and support for understanding the hands-on experience requirement. Most students pursue qualifying hours through employment or approved volunteer opportunities.

The Sterile Process helps students prepare resumes, interviews, outreach, and next-step strategies. HSPA determines certification eligibility and acceptance of qualifying hours. Employers and facilities make hiring and placement decisions.
