Requirements and Experience
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXAMINATION
To earn CER certification, candidates are required to successfully demonstrate skills through completion of three months of hands-on work experience, as well as the successful completion of an examination developed to measure the understanding of endoscope care and handling and infection prevention. CER certification holders are required to recertify annually through the completion of continuing education requirements.
HANDS-ON HOURS OF EXPERIENCE
A minimum of three months of experience must be completed, on a paid or volunteer basis, reprocessing endoscopes on a regular basis in a medical center, hospital, surgery center, or independent endoscope center. These hours must be completed at the time of application and must have been accumulated within the past three years . Because of the complex nature of endoscopes, firsthand experience is essential to supplement an individual’s understanding of the necessary knowledge and concepts of reprocessing, and to illustrate their practical use. This experience must include the pre-cleaning, testing, decontaminating, inspecting, disinfecting and/or sterilizing, transporting, and storing of endoscopes.
