Terms

Last updated September 12, 2026. By using SterileExam you accept what is written here.

Study material, not certification

SterileExam is an independent study resource. It does not certify anyone, it does not issue credentials, and it cannot register you for an exam. It is not a school and it does not grant credit toward any program or toward the hands on hours the certification requires.

SterileExam is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by HSPA. CRCST is a certification mark of the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association. We use the name only to say which exam this material prepares you for, which is the only accurate way to describe it. Anything official about the exam comes from HSPA, not from us.

No promise about your result

Nothing here guarantees that you will pass any exam. We do not offer a pass guarantee and we would not believe one on somebody else's site either. A practice score is a practice score: it is a measurement of how you did on our questions, on that day, and it is not a prediction and not an official score.

Our questions are ours

Every question, explanation and page on this site is original work written against the exam content outline that HSPA publishes. None of it is taken from a real exam. It is protected by copyright, and it is for your own study: you may not copy it, resell it, or feed it into a product that competes with this one.

If you believe something here infringes your rights, tell us and we will look at it and remove it if you are right.

Accuracy and dates

Everything factual on this site carries the source it came from and the date we read it. That is deliberate: exam requirements, fees and outlines change, and a claim that was true in August may not be true next year. We update what we find, but we do not promise the site is current at the moment you read it. Before you rely on a number here, check it against HSPA.

What is sold here

The full prep sitting costs $59, paid one time in US dollars. Paid one time in USD. Creem is the merchant of record and issues the receipt. You do not need an account to buy it, and no card details ever touch this site. Access does not expire. Buy it once, come back for the retake if you need to.

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Email us and we send the money back. We do not ask why, we do not ask what you completed, and there is no handling fee. That is the whole policy. There is no minimum you have to complete first, no window shorter than the 30 days, nothing deducted from what you paid, and no exception for buying more than one thing at once. If you want the money back, you get the money back. A refund closes the access that came with the purchase, from the next page you load.

To ask for one, email contact@sterileexam.com from the address you bought with. Refunds are issued by Creem, the merchant of record, back to the card that paid.

Links to other sites

Where we cite a source we link to it. Those sites are not ours, we do not control what they publish, and linking to one is not an endorsement of it. How this site makes money, and whether any link pays us, is spelled out in how we make money.

Using the site

Use it to study. Do not try to break it, scrape it wholesale, or use it in a way that stops other people from using it. We can stop serving the site to anyone doing that.

No warranty, and the limit of what we owe you

The site is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise it will be available at all times or free of errors. To the fullest extent the law allows, SterileExam is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from using it, including an exam result. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you actually paid us.

Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by agreement.

Changes

These terms apply to SterileExam. If they change, the date at the top of this page changes with them, and a material change will be described here rather than slipped in.
