Sterile Products & Aseptic Techniques CTE Program
Helping Your Students Learn and Grow with (SPAT)
What is SPAT?
The (SPAT) Sterile Products and Aseptic Techniques CTE program curriculum, aka – IV Certification or Sterile Processing Technician training, provides students with real-world learning experiences in basic techniques and terminologies. This technical program supports Pharmacy Technician duties for IV drug preparation.
Fortunately, career projections for SPAT Technicians remain excellent due to steady population growth, aging, and increased surgical procedures where IV admixtures are needed.
Our Sterile Products and Aseptic Techniques CTE Program
Kaduceus’ SPAT training program consists of a 40-hour course, including a mini curriculum of hands-on lessons and virtual labs. In addition, Kaduceus’ Program Coordinators provide the industry expertise teachers need to guide their students toward a successful certificate of completion.
