Certified Surgical Cleaning Technician (CSCT) Renewal Process

Option One: Continuing Education

Indicate on the Renewal Application Form or report online using the Certification Portal if you have completed 15 hours of continuing education (including relevant in-service classes) within the past three (3) years. For this renewal cycle only, you do not have to submit a list of your continuing education classes.

Option Two: Successful CSCT Re-examination

Renewal by this option requires re-taking and passing the CSCT Examination no more than one (1) year prior to certification expiration date.

You should first complete a Renewal Application Form and submit it to AHE, along with your payment. After the application is processed, AHE will notify your facility of the test request and they will get in touch with you to schedule the test.

Option Three: Facility Sponsorship

This option is available to facilities wishing to pay for their CSCT certificants’ renewal fees. CSCTs should check with their T-CSCT or manager to find out if this is an option. The facility must send a completed CSCT Renewal Log using one of the following methods:

• To pay via credit card, fax the completed CSCT Renewal Log with credit card payment to 312-276-8015. AHE cannot accept credit card payments via email.
• To be invoiced, send an email requesting an invoice with the completed CSCT Renewal Log attached to CSCT@aha.org.

Renewal by this option requires each CSCT to complete 15 hours of continuing education within the past three (3) years. For this renewal cycle only, a list of continuing education classes does not need to be submitted.
