How’s it been

[@Aymiraguitara]

Where I live we don’t have the CST program. Sadly, I am currently taking a CNA program instead and hopefully, I can move out and find a college with the program.

[@MsEllen918]

I'm an office based surgical medical assistant for 28 years. I would like to add certified surgical tech to my resume. How would this course work for me?

[@agustindelgado1218]

Man I really want to this program!

[@brittneybroussard6524]

What’s the name of the accredited university?

[@elicebonfim8820]

How about the hand on training?

[@Certified-Success]

Yes, we include that as well...we coordinate a local Externship for you to get hands-on training and experience :)

[@beenabyju-tw8ew]

Is this equivalent to the prequisites program ?

Hi! This all sounds amazing! Do you have any pass rates for those who used the preppy program?

[@Certified-Success]

The NCCT and the AAH do not share that data with us, but our students who report back have been reporting great results! :) You can check the testimonials on our review page: deals.preppy.org/preppy-student-reviews

[@fatimaha.7703]

I think you forgot a benefit, extensive Hands-On training...

[@Certified-Success]

Hands-on experience is important. Preppy's externship helps you get that..

[@Certified-Success]

@@chantaljeancharles7153 No schedules! That's a really big deal for busy adults, since we can't stop everything we're doing in our lives to attend school. You make your own hours, and you cant start instantly!

Do you have extern sites in Calif

[@Certified-Success]

We do! We coordinate Externships across the US 😊

No work experience in hospital， After finish the program，can i work in the hospital smoothly？

[@follavincent8042]

I live in UK

[@KevinBeza.]

I was wondering how do the externships work? Like hours and days?

[@Certified-Success]

Hey Kevin, These externships are arranged local to you. They're a minimum of 40 hours but can be much longer. Let us know if you have any other questions :)

[@KevinBeza.]

40 hours a week? Would I still Be able to work my job? Like can I choose the hours and days?

[@Certified-Success]

Yes :) You can inform the coordinator about your schedule, and you'll be able to work out something based on your schedule.

[@lekishawagner3378]

I'm really interested in the program. But I have a couple of concerns. Is everything online?&do they have virtual stimulations?

[@ananiaswosencroft9966]

Im wondering if externships are offered in the New England area of the US. Connecticut, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts specifically?

[@Certified-Success]

They are! 😀

[@ananiaswosencroft9966]

​@@Certified-Success awesome!!! I did talk to one of the representatives on the website and she shared with me that the student can ask to be placed at certain hospitals for their externship and that you guys would try your hardest to get us in with our first choice. Massachusetts General Hospital would absolutely be my first choice! Their learning opportunities are endless. Basically any hospital in Boston would be amazing!!! So many of them are Harvard Medical learning hospitals!!! I'm so excited for this opportunity that preppy is offering! Thank you for this!

[@Certified-Success]

Awesome. :)

[@officialLariahG]

Can I take the CST exam using Preppy or will I only be eligible to take the NCCT exam?

[@Certified-Success]

Hey, After Preppy, you'd be ready to the take the TS-C exam through NCCT & the NCST Exam through AAH. Both of these are nationally-recognized certifications for surgical techs.

[@Andreasplace]

Using Preppy how do you sit for the NCCT

[@Certified-Success]

Hey Andrea! Once you finish the program, you'll be fully ready to take the exam for the NCCT certification :)

[@robertoespinoza1226]

you cant only certified programs, check out the ncct online page

[@michellegomezjoof8210]

Hello dear,just asking. What do you need to be a medical assistant, like do I need certificate before starting the course? Am in sweden...

[@Certified-Success]

Hello! Nope! The program has everything you need...nothing else needed to begin :)

[@michellegomezjoof8210]

@@Certified-Success thank you.

[@TJ-xq6fj]

Question, does an Associates makes a difference from a certificate?

[@Certified-Success]

Associates programs are usually much longer (up to 2 years) while certification programs are shorter. The key is to get the accredited University training, get your industry certification, and get some experience under your belt. That's why we feel this system is so much better than a typical associate's degree route, since you typically don't *need an associate's degree, it's faster, cheaper, and with far more perks :)

[@gulrukhgadoeva7973]

I heard program matirials and its contend is outdated, from like 2020 or 2021 , is that true ?

[@Certified-Success]

Incorrect. The program is updated every year :)

[@gulrukhgadoeva7973]

@WithGrant OK, thats great then, thank you!

[@ragnaroksangel]

I have a severed flexor tendon at A2 in my left middle finger. The tip digit does not bend and is therefore mostly useless. Is this something that would hinder my ability to function in this role?

[@Certified-Success]

Hey there! Many people in healthcare have issues like this...and, keep in mind it's unlawful for companies to discriminate their hiring based on any disability.

[@lanthelys4507]

How many hours on average does one need on extership before you are ready?

[@Certified-Success]

With Preppy, you get a local externship placement, which is a minimum of 40 hours, but can be much longer.

[@pitch5814]

40 hours in total or a week

[@rubythompson6501]
