Hospital Cleanroom & Sterile Compounding Equipment Technician

A 12-credit certificate for technicians who maintain hospital pharmacy cleanrooms. You start with cleanroom classes, pressure cascades and USP 797/800 environment concepts, then service laminar flow hoods and biosafety cabinets, followed by HEPA leak testing, particle counting and environmental monitoring. The final course covers automated dispensing cabinet hardware and cleanroom maintenance. Coursework is vendor-neutral. It prepares you for industry practice and does not by itself grant any license or agency certification.
