A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR TRAINING

What you’ll learn. How you’ll be supported.

The full self-paced course is included in both the $497 program and the $2,499 complete package. Open the details that matter to you.

Inside the full self-paced program

Your learning foundation

  • Safe sterile processing and essential terminology
  • Instrument care and sterilization
  • Professional practice and the standards behind departmental work

How you work through it

  • On-demand video lessons and study guides
  • Chapter reviews, assignments, and knowledge checks
  • One year of standard access to learn and revisit material at your own pace

The detailed learning sequence and assignments are available inside the course. Self-paced enrollment does not require a fixed live-class schedule.

Exam preparation, feedback, and instructor support

Study with a purpose

Both CRCST and CSPDT/CBSPD study paths are included. Practice exam-style questions, review scores and answer explanations, and use interactive flashcards to strengthen recall. Your study progress is saved.

Help along the way

Message your instructor about lessons, assignments, or concepts. Career-readiness resources include resume support, interview preparation, hands-on-hour planning, and community job leads.

Program support is different from the six-month done-for-you facility outreach service, which is available only in the complete package. Exam applications and fees are separate.

Everything the $2,499 complete package adds
  • Pathway books: The textbook and workbook for your selected certification pathway, purchased on your behalf through TSP’s established process.
  • Skills kit + instructor-led practice: A mailed practice kit, guided virtual practice, and feedback. U.S. shipping is included.
  • AHA BLS: Basic Life Support course fee and scheduling assistance are included.
  • Six months of facility outreach: An initial personalized plan, three targeted actions each week including follow-ups, and a progress log. This service cannot be purchased separately.

These package benefits are not included in program-only tuition. The skills kit can also be purchased separately. Virtual practice is educational and does not count as clinical certification hours.

Onboarding, completion documents, and continuing education

Before services begin

Complete your intake and sign enrollment, liability, and consulting documents. Identification and diploma/GED documentation are provided through the approved secure onboarding process, during your application.

As you progress

After successful program completion with a course grade of 70% or higher, TSP provides a certificate of completion and grade report supporting CBSPD’s training-course eligibility route. CBSPD reviews eligibility.

After certification, explore CE opportunities posted in the community during your original one-year program access. This does not extend your access or include certification renewal fees.

The course certificate documents education, not professional certification. Certification, acceptance of hours, employment, and placement are not guaranteed. Your year of access begins when access is activated. Outreach begins when your plan is approved, and its full six-month period must fit within that access year.

A FEW DETAILS

Clear before you enroll.

What does the outreach service include?

Complete-package students receive an initial personalized plan, three targeted outreach actions per week including follow-ups, a progress log, and six months of support. Follow-ups count toward the weekly total. Facilities make hiring and placement decisions; placement is not guaranteed. The six-month period begins when your outreach plan is approved and must fit within your year of access.

How does the skills kit work?

The $497 skills kit can be purchased separately, without the program. It includes a mailed practice kit, instructor-led practice, and U.S. shipping. It is also included in the complete package. Practice is educational, not for patient care, and does not replace required clinical experience or certification hours.

What if I choose the program payment plan and kit?

Program tuition totals $697 across three payments. The kit adds $497, paid with the first tuition payment: $729.34 initially, then $232.33 twice. Total: $1,194. Books and certification exam fees remain separate.

How do I complete CRCST’s 400 hands-on hours?

A qualifying role or placement can provide the required experience, subject to HSPA’s requirements. The job board and package outreach help students pursue opportunities, but do not guarantee placement or acceptance of hours. Kit practice is not a substitute.

What completion and CE support is included?

Students meeting program requirements receive a certificate of completion and grade report for their exam application; CBSPD reviews eligibility. After certification, CE opportunities are posted in the community during the original one-year program access. This does not extend access or include certification renewal fees.

What happens during package onboarding?

Complete your intake and sign enrollment, liability, and consulting documents. Identification and high-school diploma/GED documentation are provided through the approved secure onboarding process. You can complete the required intake, document submission, agreements, and payment in one sitting. Access remains locked until your application and documents are verified.

What are the payment and refund terms?

Review the terms for your selected option before paying, including the existing refund policy. Payments are handled by Stripe during enrollment. Paying does not by itself grant course access or authorize kit shipment.

Your next step starts here.
