The IT-2250: Networking Specialist program is recommended for beginning IT professionals looking to start in the field of networking. Networking is the backbone of the entire IT industry, and at its core is communication. Communicating between networks allows people to connect, share information, and collaborate. This program is designed to provide a foundational, or entry-level pathway toward two key networking certifications well known throughout the world of IT: Cisco Certified Technician (Routing and Switching), and CompTIA Network+.

This comprehensive program begins with Customer Service Skills for Techies, which teaches critical soft skills that help students improve their communication and customer service skills – but with an emphasis on improving these skills in an IT environment. From there, the foundations of networking are presented in Networking Fundamentals. The course contains almost 30 modules that cover a wide range of networking concepts – and provides a great launching-off point for the next three courses in the program.

The networking community has chosen Python as the language of choice to use for Network Programmability and allows individuals to build scripts to automate network configurations.

The MedCerts online Sterile Processing program prepares students to gain industry certification and ultimately to work in hospitals, surgery centers, clinics and other healthcare facilities.

This program includes three courses – Intro to Human Anatomy and Medical Terminology, Professionalism in Allied Health, and Sterile Processing – to prepare students to become well-rounded Sterile Processing Technicians. Because graduates will be working in a healthcare facility, it is imperative that they be able to speak and understand the language of medicine and have a fundamental understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology. Additionally, any role in healthcare requires the ability to work with a variety of personalities, including patients, doctors and medical staff. Our Professionalism in Allied Health program prepares you to handle any of these interactions. Because sterile processing tasks, by nature, typically involve hands-on interaction, it’s important for MedCerts to place increased focus on immersion and a high level of interactivity. Our students will feel as though they are part of the process, and that their physical actions are playing a vital role in their learning.

Upon completion of this program, the student will be eligible to sit for the provisional certification exam for Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) sponsored by the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA, formerly IAHCSMM). Full certification is obtained after acquiring 400 hours of hands-on sterile processing experience within six months of provisional certification.

The MedCerts Surgical Technologist program prepares students to become Tech in Surgery – Certified (TS-C) by the National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT). Professionals who earn the NCCT designation have the clinical skills and knowledge for maintaining asepsis during surgery, anticipating the surgeon’s needs, and remaining attentive to all aspects of the surgical procedure to ensure a safe environment for the patient.

This program contains a clinical requirement to complete national certification. This clinical requirement consists of case documentation which requires a minimum of 125 surgical cases including a minimum of 30 scrubs in general surgery (with a maximum of 50) and a minimum of 75 scrubs in at least 3 (three) of the following areas [Gynecology; Obstetrics; Otorhinolaryngology 5; Genitourinary; Thoracic; Plastic/Reconstructive; Cardiovascular; Ophthalmology; Other; Neurosurgery; Peripheral Vascular]. At least 90 of the 125 cases must be 1st scrub cases. MedCerts students must complete these clinical hours before attempting to take the Tech in Surgery - Certified national certification exam issued through the NCCT. Students enrolling through an Employer or Academic Sponsored program are not required to complete clinical elements before attempting the certification exam.

While MedCerts does not guarantee clinical placement, we offer resources and a clinical team is available to support students from the very beginning of your program.
