How long does it take for the exam application review process?
A. Processing an application for the Surgical Technologist National Certifying Exam takes approximately 4 weeks from the time it is received. Processing an application for the First Assistant Exam depends upon how quickly we receive the verification forms back from the MD’s, RN’s or DO’s and CST or CST/CFA supervisors verifying the first assistant skills. You should allow at least 3 months for this process to be completed. You may speed the process by attaching the completed, and notarized forms to your application.
