FAQ's


Will I get access right away to the practice exams?

Yes! After purchase you will receive a 2nd email with login instructions. You can also visit TheSterileGuy.com and click "Members Area" in the top menu to login using the same email you purchased with.

How long will I have access to the practice exams?

You'll have 12 months access to the practice exams.

Are the questions the same as on the HSPA or CBSPD exams?

Yes, but not exactly. To copy exact questions and answers would infringe on their proprietary rights. However, there is only a limited amount of information to use, so questions and answers will surely overlap here and there.

Can I pass the certification exam only using your practice exams?

Maybe. A lot of Technicians have passed only using my products, however, it depends on your knowledge, experience, test taking abilities and actual work ethic that you put towards studying. Keep in mind, practice exams and flashcards are only tools to help provide you feedback on your current preparation levels. If you see areas you are weak in, then that is meant to drive you back to studying the HSPA manual.

Why should I choose your practice exams?

I could attempt to answer that, but I'd rather let all the 5 star reviews do that for me. 😉 But seriously. I ensure my practice exams are always up to date with the latest HSPA manuals and test versions to ensure you have the greatest content available to pass on your first attempt.

Do you offer refunds for practice exams?

No. With digital practice exams, it's easy for someone to gain access, take the exams, and then ask for their money back. That's not equitable for anyone. If you are uncertain about this product, you can access the Free Practice Tests to get a feel and see if you like the platform and format.

Is the practice exams for the HSPA or CBSPD exam?

Both. The practice exams are designed from the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition, however, the content is the same for both agency exams.

Can I access the practice exams offline?

No, there is not an offline option. You must have access to internet.

Will I receive anything in the mail after purchasing the practice exams?

No. It is completely a digital product.

It's About You!

Hi There, My name is Brandon, also known as "The Sterile Guy." Besides my over 20 years of experience in the fields of Sterile Processing, Surgical Technology, and Infection Prevention, my most important focus is advancing the career fields of Sterile Processing and Surgical Technicians. SPD techs & OR techs are vital to the success of any medical procedure whether in the Operating Room or outlying clinics.

My goal is to equip SPD techs & OR techs with the knowledge, experience, and certifications they need to acquire the pay, benefits, and recognition they deserve. I started off simply producing YouTube videos teaching different aspects of each career field. During that time I was repeatedly asked to create materials to help others learn and achieve certifications. So that is what I did, and that is what this entire website is dedicated to. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have by clicking the message button at the bottom right of the screen and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for checking out the website, and I wish you nothing but success! ~Brandon
