Catawba Valley Community College has announced a new Central Sterile Processing course that will prepare students for entry-level central sterile technician positions. Class and labs will be held in-person at the Surgical Technology lab on the CVCC Main Campus, Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Students will complete 8 weeks of class/lab work before progressing to the 8-week clinical assignment. After the program, students will have six months to complete 400 hours of documented, hands-on work experience within a Sterile Processing Department. Once the hours are completed, students may sit for the Certified Registered Central Service Technician certification exam.
