About the Program

The Surgical Technology certificate is a four-semester sequence (including two summer terms) that prepares students to work in medical facilities as surgical technologists. Graduates of the program are qualified to take the national certification examination given by the Liaison Council on Certification for the Surgical Technologist (LCC-ST).

A limited number of students can be accepted into the Surgical Technology Program each year. Therefore, a screening process is used to select the academically best qualified of those who request consideration. The screening deadline is the first Wednesday in February. Preference is given to residents of Community College District 532 (CLC) and residents of other community college districts with which CLC has a Joint Education Agreement. To find out more about the screening process, please click on the Program Requirements link below.
Surgical Technology information sessions are held the first Thursday of each month (except January, June, and July) at 5:30pm in room D204. Attendance at an information session is required for screening eligibility.
