The Fast Track course lasts 5 weeks with 120 classroom/training hours. At Cornerstone, we make sure that our training is comprehensive so that an individual will succeed in the certification exam with The Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution, Inc. (CBSPD).
We provide the tools and the resources for our students to succeed. Our training program allows students to "digest" or process the information slowly and at an extended period of time in order to retain the necessary knowledge and skills.
Therefore, a student taking Cornerstone's SPD Certification program will receive a quality training and education to succeed in the certification exam.
