Dignity College of Healthcare online surgical technologist training course is far superior than other online Surgical Technician programs because it includes the training, exam review and national certification exam

Dignity College of Healthcare online surgical technician training is far superior than other online Surgical Technician programs because it includes the training and exam review  for the EKG technician and a comprehensive, but simple tailored program for the Surgical Technician. The fees for the EKG national certification exam is the responsibility of the student. In the same manner, the fees for the Surgical Tech exam (see fees schedule) is NOT included in the tuition.  Students apply for the national certification exams and pay themselves at the completion of the course.  Dignity College of Healthcare is an institution approved to offer courses in the United states, hence our certificate of completion is valid for work even without going for the outside exam certification. However for students who need the exam certifications, We highly recommend Healthcare Professionals Competency Testing HPCT for the EKG and Surgical Tech National Certification Exams. So a completion of our course enables the graduate to practice as an EKG Technician in any State of the United States, as well as practice as a Surgical Tech in any state.
