Hybrid blended format
Online coursework, live virtual instruction, campus laboratory training, hands-on practical instruction, and clinical preparation.
If you’re searching for a Surgical Technology program online, you’re probably looking for flexibility—but you’re also entering one of healthcare’s most hands-on, clinically demanding professions. A strong Surgical Technology education cannot be fully online—and ACHT’s hybrid model combines online coursework with the hands-on education operating room careers require.
At ACHT, the Surgical Technology Program is a hybrid blended experience: online coursework, live virtual instruction, flexible academic learning, in-person skills training, and clinical preparation—so you get flexibility and the hands-on education operating room careers demand.
Online coursework, live virtual instruction, campus laboratory training, hands-on practical instruction, and clinical preparation.
Balance work, family, and study with a structure that still keeps you accountable.
Connect with instructors in real time through structured online sessions.
In-person skills training and clinical preparation build the sterile technique and teamwork confidence the OR requires.
Students can complete portions of surgical technology education through online learning, but core practical and clinical components must be completed in person.
Synchronous learning—connect with instructors in real time through virtual sessions.
Complete academic assignments outside live sessions on a schedule that fits your life.
Campus-based laboratory training in environments built for surgical skills development.
Build procedural skill and confidence through guided, in-person practical training.
Applied learning and supervised clinical experience that builds confidence before you enter professional operating room settings.
ACHT’s hybrid Surgical Technology Program includes live synchronous online classes, where students connect with instructors in real time through scheduled virtual instruction.
In addition to scheduled virtual learning, students complete asynchronous academic coursework on a flexible schedule.
Surgical Technology is deeply connected to real clinical environments. Hands-on competencies—sterile field preparation, surgical workflow understanding, operating room professionalism, and surgical environment readiness—cannot be learned entirely online.
