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.

Let customers speak for us
from 169 reviewsI’m learning so many things while watching the videos and doing practice tests after each lesson! I was worried about not being able to grasp anything but the tests after each lesson really solidify the information I learned! Thank you so much for this way of teaching!
I purchased the course, the index cards and the extra quizzes. I don't have the book nor did I take any classes or go to any programs. My schedule was too busy, so I self studied with Brandon's incredible bundles. I HIGHLY recommend his course and the extra quizzes were chef's kiss.
PS: the combination of the course outline, the cheat sheets AND the videos is the key to really understanding the material. Thanks Brandon!
Very comprehensive and scholarly presented . Kudos Brandon!
The practice test really helped prepare for the certification test!
Hi these cards are of quality and value easy to learn and just amazing thanks
I just registered class about one week ago, and finished two modules. I have to say this 101 class make the process of preparing the CRCST exam much more easier. I mean each module is kind of short but full of necessary information for the exam and follow up with some practice questions with an answer page. I also have flash cards on the way, cannot wait to see it!!! I am planning to take my exam no later than August probably in the middle of August, hope I can pass it on my first attempt. 🙏
I took my test today for my provisional and I PASSSED! I bought the flash card bundle. I can say honestly your flash cards seem like a lot of hard work went into them. I’ll be honest i didn’t really use them as much but i found your practice test very helpful. I would take them every two weeks and it helped me a lot on my test. So thank you very much.
Taking my CIS in July. These are a very good study guide. Thank You.
I felt pretty confident going into my CIS exam, but I wanted some extra reassurance so I decided to purchase the practice exam. Not only did it give me peace of mind, it also showed me where I could use a little extra last minute studying. The questions felt true to the test and were far better than any of the free study options. 10/10 would recommend!
I really loved this practice exam, it helped me a lot in preparing for my CIS exam. I especially appreciated how the practice exams are linked with the HSPA CIS book, providing page numbers to review whenever you choose an incorrect answer. This feature made it easy to revisit and understand the material better.
