At The Sterile Guy, I’ve made it my mission to support Sterile Processing Technicians at every step of their certification journey—whether they’re just getting started or pursuing advanced credentials. As a technician myself with over 20 years of experience in the field, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to prepare for the CRCST, CSPDT, CHL exams and more—especially without the right resources.
That’s why I’ve built The Sterile Guy to be a one-stop hub of both free and paid products aimed specifically at helping Sterile Processing Technicians not only pass their exams, but truly understand the why behind the standards and processes we follow.
Helping Over 2,000 Techs Get Certified (and Counting)
To date, I’ve helped more than 2,000 technicians successfully pass their certification exams—from initial certification with HSPA or CBSPD to advanced credentials. And I’m just getting started.
I’ve created targeted flashcards, realistic practice exams, video tutorials, and study guides designed with the test in mind. These aren't just generic tools—they’re built specifically for sterile processing professionals, using the same kind of language, formatting, and critical thinking you’ll encounter on the real exam.
Free Resources for Everyone
While I do offer a comprehensive paid prep course called Sterile Processing 101, I also believe strongly in giving back to the community. That’s why I’ve committed to building out a robust collection of free practice exams, available right here on the blog.
Whether you're just starting to study or need an extra boost before test day, these free resources can help sharpen your knowledge, calm your nerves, and reinforce key concepts.
I know what it’s like to feel lost and overwhelmed when prepping for these exams—so I’m here to make sure you don’t have to go it alone.
What You’ll Find in My Free Practice Exams
Each free practice test is crafted to mirror the structure and difficulty of the real thing. Expect:
-
A mix of multiple-choice and scenario-based questions
-
Topics that span decontamination, sterilization, instrumentation, quality assurance, and regulations
-
Explanations to help you learn from your mistakes
-
Instant feedback and test scoring
And I’m not stopping here. As the Sterile Processing 101 community grows, I’ll be continuing to add new free tests—so keep checking back for updates.
Whether you’re looking to get certified, stay sharp, or move into an advanced role, The Sterile Guy is here to support your success—with the kind of down-to-earth tools and guidance that actually work.
Your certification isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a reflection of your knowledge, your pride, and your commitment to surgical safety. And I’m honored to be part of your journey.

I'm really happy that I purchased the SP practice exam. I love how if you answer the question incorrectly, the correct answer will include the page number of the text book to find the answer. The questions are literally based on the textbook. I suggested "The Sterile Processing Guy" to my friend that is studying for the exam as well.
