To qualify for graduation, students must participate in the Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) certification examination administered by the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA), formerly the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM).

New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee require individuals to earn the CRCST credential before becoming eligible for employment. The College has not made a determination with respect to certification requirements of other states. This program requires students to take and pass the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers - BLS (AHA) exam.
