After spending over 15 years working in Sterile Processing and Material Management, I noticed something that bothered me — aspiring CS technicians were studying from outdated materials, generic flashcards, and resources that didn't reflect the real demands of the CRCST exam.

With a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Science and years of frontline experience across multiple healthcare facilities, I decided to build the resource I always wanted — a focused, modern, and evidence-based study platform built specifically for sterile processing professionals.

Throughout my career, I've worked across all areas of the sterile processing department — decontamination, preparation and packaging, sterilization, and sterile storage. I've trained new technicians, managed instrument inventories, and worked directly with surgical teams. That depth of experience shaped every question on this platform.

Every question on Sterile Processing Prep is grounded in the latest HSPA content outline and the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual (9th Edition) — the same references used on the real exam. Content is also aligned with ANSI/AAMI standards and CDC guidelines for disinfection and sterilization.

I built this platform to be completely free because I believe every technician deserves access to high-quality study materials — regardless of budget or location.

My goal is simple: help every CS technician walk into that exam feeling confident and prepared.
