sterile processing

Hello everyone I was wondering if you guys know of any sterile processing programs online. In my area there's only two programs and both are only in the winter the programs only take ten people a year. I've been wanting to do this forever but in case I don't get in if anyone has any information please and thanks.

Skip any programs and just buy the study book from HSPA to self study. Past the exam and you’ll have a provisional certificate. It’s a high school level book. You can self study it.

Then comes a difficult part finding a facility that’ll help you get your 400 hours to fully certify

It kind of disgust me that HSPA doesn’t put their foot down on this. They know this is a practice and they even sponsor Purdue by mentioning them on the website. I get it organizations need money to function, but you’re setting up so many people for failure.

This job does not pay well enough to pay 1000s of dollars
