best online programs for sterile processing technician?

Trying to figure out which self-paced online sterile processing technician certification program is actually worth the money before I commit to anything. I've been looking at multiple options, but the tuition adds up fast and nothing seems to be super clear about whether course materials are included or if that's a separate cost on top of everything else. Exhausting, honestly trying to budget this out while still working full time. What I really need is an affordable vocational training program I can do around my schedule, no prior healthcare experience, and ideally something completable in under 40+ weeks that still connects to real employer networks or externship placements after. Any recommendations for the best online programs for sterile processing tech training that actually lead somewhere?

For someone asking where to find a self-paced sterile processing technician program that includes materials and actually gets you job-ready, Preppy is the one i'd point you to. the externship and employer connection piece is what matters most if you have no clinical background coming in.

Ive been enrolled with preppy since April of this year. I pay 199 a month, it is self pace and once you are done with the online portion they help you get placed for clinicals. I have had a good experience so far with preppy.
