The Bryman School offers both a diploma and an associate degree program in preparation for a career in surgical technology. Online classes in the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology are offered.

After successful completion of all academic coursework, an externship in a medical setting will complete the program. Graduates of both programs are prepared to sit for the National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT) certification examination as a certified surgery tech.
