Are SPD Techs in demand right now?
The best time to become a certified sterile processing technician is all the time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare facilities have never been more concerned about sterilizing equipment and avoiding cross-contamination. In general, hospitals provide relatively high job security and great benefits. They will always be seeing patients, using medical tools, and performing surgeries; SPD Techs are essential to this process. The basic functioning of any hospital relies on the safe decontamination, sterilization, and distribution of medical tools. That is why Sterile Processing is sometimes referred to as the “heart” of the hospital.
Many SPDT positions are flexible, affording graduates the opportunity for full-time, part-time, per diem, and even traveling roles for hospitals, healthcare facilities, research laboratories, and private corporations. SPD Techs can expect to make about $50,000 per year, with top earners making over $73,000!
Program Features
Our programs offer unrivaled speed, affordability, and flexibility. Each course is led by an experienced teacher who will prepare you to pass the board exam and give you the tools you need to succeed as an SPD tech.
All students will receive:

An in-house career workshop to improve your resume and interview skills.
Altamont Healthcare graduates who have passed the board exam are eligible for our exclusive externship program. This program provides hands-on experience in a real medical facility and the opportunity to impress potential employers with your dedication and performance.
SPD + ERT Promotion
Starting Fall 2021, we’ll waive your ERT Registration fee when you co-enroll in SPD. Combined with our Option 1 discount, you could save up to $545.00 while boosting your earning potential and making yourself more attractive to employers.
The ERT certification in addition to our SPD program gives you a head start in the field. SPD Techs that earn ERT certifications open themselves to greater job opportunities, stand out to employers during the hiring process, and can negotiate better salaries than SPD Techs without it.
Tuition Reimbursement Program
We understand that We offer several payment plans with varying levels of discounts that can be found here.
One pathway to limit the cost for students is the Certification Course Reimbursement Program. With this program, students can be reimbursed for the cost of the SPD program when they agree to travel and relocate to work for Steris IMS for at least 1 year. To qualify for this program, you must complete the course with a grade of at least 80 percent and successfully complete the externship program.
We are currently working towards federal approval to offer financial aid in the near future.
