There are externships in every state the specialist will coordinate with a local facility/hospital/medical center and get you in with hands on experience
@@WithGrantI’m living and working in Sweden and I’m interested in signing up for this program. I’m a certified sterile processing technician. How possible is it to do externship? I have been discouraged by from taking up the program bse it requires a lot of lab work which I can miss out. Any advise please! Thank you
Hello Grant. This interests me. Just a couple of questions. Is this cert accepted in NY? Is it digital or wall cert? How much is the NCST exam? What are the other expenses needs to consider after this this program? Hope you notice my inquiry. Ty
Hey Arvin! Yes, the certs are nationwide 😀 The beauty of the program is that all materials are included so there are no other expenses...and yes, you get a physical cert from the university to hang on your wall!
Did you hear the part about them? Still requiring a externship that should ease your concerns. It's not like you're just going to operate on people. You have to do an externship. You have to watch and do all of that and get hands-on experience with the trainer. It's not more like we're just jumping into nothing
You still have to pass the same certification exam as everybody else, and you have to prove to your employer you are competent or they don’t keep you. It’s really not that deep.
Hey, Absolutely! We coordinate externships throughout the US and San Diego is no issue at all. The Externship is scheduled to make sure it works for your schedule :)
Hi! This is NCCT approved? And NCCT doesn’t give you full certification unless you scrub in 125 hours? Is that correct? So you can sit in the exam but license isn’t released until after the 125 hours?
Hello. From my research this only certifies you as CST. Many hospitals won’t hire you that cert. they want the more universal cert. Can you please advise? Do you plan on enhancing the program so that graduates are ready for both exam certifications? Thank you
Hey, So there’s a common myth that you need the specific certification from an NBSTSA/CAAHEP program. Not true! Let me explain: It’s true that getting a certification is key. You want to be a certified Surgical Tech. With Preppy, that’s why we prepare you for TWO different national certifications as a Surgical Tech: Tech in Surgery (TS-C) certification from NCCT, and National Certified Surgical Technologist (CST or NCST) from AAH. Again, both of these are national certifications! AND you can get them within just a few months with Preppy! 😊 To get a NBSTSA/CAAHEP certification, on the other hand, you would have to go through a long 2-YEAR program, physically driving to a campus for classes, and normally with big price tags. There's literally no other option. And apart from the ludicrous cost and time associated with completing these programs (which make them completely unattractive for busy adults) there aren’t many CAAHEP accredited programs for people locally. What does this all mean? There simply aren't enough certified Surgical Techs out there! Hospitals have to manage, and there are many positions that go unfilled. What has been happening is that they're hiring Surgical Tech positions under different job titles like - Operating Room Assistant (ORA), OR Tech, Certified Surgical Technologist, Scrub Tech (ST), Medical Surgical Technician etc. etc. They’re essentially the same position, just different names. SO, the key is to get one of those national Surgical Tech certifications above…and then when you begin applying and looking for postings, make sure you expand your search and apply for those other positions as well with the different names! 😊
Hey Brandon! Exactly! We coordinate Externships across the country. Once you finish your program we coordinate that for you to get real life work experience and training 😀
Hey Dillon! It's completely optional, but a big bonus to get you experience for your resume and hands-on training. If you just wanted the minimum, it could be about 40 hours. However, it could also be much higher than that as well...the time is coordinated between you and the hospital/healthcare organization to make sure it fits your schedule :)
Yes. Preppy's program is essentially though a nationally-recognised, non-profit accredited university. With Preppy, you'll be ready for the TS-C certification through NCCT, and this is a nationally-recognized certification.
Hi there I’m on LI New York and I had the same question, I completed the program and they dis reach out to me for an externship but here is the downside of all this, most employers want and required you to have a certification from NBSTSA
hello me and my friend planning to enroll with this surgical tech program but we have a big question if we finish the course what hospital we can do our externship we all leave in corpus christi texas and ca and is this program is accredited by ABHES or CAAHEP?Thank you
Hey there! We coordinate Externships across the US...no issues in TX or Corpus Christi. Once you finish your program our team will work with you and coordinate that at an OR, hospital, etc. :)
What about if it takes me little longer than 6 months to complete the program? Can I get an extension? Do I have to pay extra? Thank you for your response in advance.
Hey, You get access to the program for a whole year. So you have a whole year to complete the program. Most students complete the program in 3-6 months.
Hey Mia! Absolutely...we coordinate externships throughout the US and Philadelphia is no issue at all :) Yes! the program is specifically designed for busy adults, and most students are in the same work situation. You definitely could, or even faster ;)
how many hours will be needed for an externship? how about surgical cases? is there a need to comply a certain number of surgical cases to be certified? Thank you
Clinical requirements are an important factor and that's why the externship is such a big bonus. The externship would be for a minimum of 40 hours, but can be much longer. For surgical cases, it depends on the certification you choose.
Question. How long will this go on for. I am an undocumented immigrant. Grew up here my whole life. I am now in process of a Uvisa and hoping to get my work permit within the next few years. Should I wait until I have a legal right to work here and get a social security number or should I take this now to take advantage of the price and the whole program, which I REALLY REALLY WANT?
I just completed the program. How do I get in contact with your support so that I can know how my externship will be selected. I already send an email to support
In order to get that useless cert you need to go to 2 years of school and spend many thousands of dollars. Hospitals are very short on techs and many will gladly accept the cert you can get through this program at 1/10th to 1/20th the cost.
It does! After you finish the course we place you in an Externship with a local healthcare organization to get hands on experience! We coordinate all of that for you
@@WithGrant ok that’s great news, I’m not sure if you would know this information but I’m from North Ca, by any chance do you know which hospital I would be in? Or do you have a link of all this information?
Yes! The program is actually through the non-profit university...so you'll get your Certificate of Completion through that accredited institution for Surgical Tech. Preppy is on a mission to make certifications more affordable and accessible for everyone, so it's co-branded.
We love hearing that! Yes, very real :) It took a few years to put it all together, but now we're making certification training affordable and accessible for everyone :)

Makes the potential patient real comfortable. Maybe all surgical paying customers should have meetings beforehand and choose who they trust.
