Central Sterile Processing Technology (CCC)

Program Overview

The Central Sterile Processing Program spans two semesters and prepares students with experience, knowledge and skills necessary to earn a nationally recognized industry credential and become a vital part of the surgical team.  A central sterile processing technologist’s primary responsibility is to ensure that medical equipment and devices are in stock, clean, and ready to use.  Students will learn these skills on campus in classrooms, labs and by interning in area medical facilities. 

Successful completion of all certificate requirements may provide you eligibility to take the Certified Registered Central Service Technician exam by the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management.   You may also qualify to take the exam for Sterile Processing Technicians offered by the Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution, Inc. (CBSPD). If you are a student who resides outside of Florida, Santa Fe College has not made a determination that its degree program or curriculum meets educational requirements for professional licensure in your state. Please locate and contact the Licensure Board in your state in order to determine whether this degree program will meet their licensure requirements.
