Where our students train — real clinical partners
Why students pick virtual

The accountability of a class, the reach of online.

Live weekly instruction

Credentialed instructors teach in real time — ask questions and get answers on the spot.

A schedule that keeps you moving

Set class times build momentum, so you actually finish and sit for the exam.

Same online portal

All the self-study materials are included — review lessons and practice tests anytime.

What you'll work with

Taught live — on the real instruments.

Live virtual students learn to identify, inspect, and handle every instrument set, guided by an instructor in real time.

Certify from any state

No sterile processing classes near you? You don’t need them.

Our live virtual class reaches learners nationwide — built for the states where in-person SPD schools are scarce or nonexistent. Minnesota makes certification mandatory in 2028, and many states have few or no local programs at all. Wherever you are, you can get CRCST-ready from home. (Local to Philadelphia or the NJ/PA area? You can also train in person.)

States that require certification

States with few or no local schools

Comparing your options? This is our live virtual class. If you’d rather go fully at your own pace with instant access, see the online self-study — both prep you for the same CRCST exam.

My experience at Aseptic Technical was very positive. The instructors were helpful and informative, and the program gave me a clear understanding of the purpose behind the tasks we perform in this field. I highly recommend this program to anyone starting their career.

Everyone was professional and respectful, and they also expect you to take the course seriously, which I think is a good thing. They provide all the materials you need, so you're never left guessing or feeling unprepared.

16 weeks per cohort. You also get access to the same online portal used by self-study students.
What if I miss a session?
Reach out to your instructor — and you still have the full online portal to keep up between live classes.
Can I attend from my state — even Minnesota or somewhere with no local school?
Yes. The virtual class is 100% online over Zoom, so you can join from any state. It's especially popular where in-person sterile processing schools are scarce — including Minnesota, which makes certification mandatory in 2028.
