Sterile Processing Technician

 

The Sterile processing technician program teaches students to carry out a number of the most critical safety tasks in the healthcare sector. Students learn vital infection control techniques to keep hospitals, medical facilities, as well as surgical instruments, safe and free from the spread of diseases. Sterile processing training will also provide you with a background in microbiology.

In addition, training includes a clinical practicum to help students get networking opportunities and actual experience in the field. 

Upon completion of this program, students will have the following skills:

  • Wrap surgical trays

  • Identify Surgical Instruments by service

  • Pick cases

  • Break down case cart

  • Use a washer-disinfector

  • Load trays into autoclave

Enrolling with Steri-Central was the best decision I made. The instructors were very supportive and passionate about Sterile Processing and and our success in the field. They kept the classes fun and engaging. I went into my certification exam prepared and confident. I passed my certification and am truly grateful for the program. I highly recommend Steri-Central to anyone looking to establish a career in the Sterile Processing Department.
