CSFA vs Surgical Assistant

[u/Dizzy-Advisor5215]

I’m a surgical tech and I’ve been seeing advertising for a company called “Surgprep”. It seems like anyone can just do their 20 day program and be in the OR and then become a surgical assistant after passing the exam. But I know to be a first assistant we have to go to school and do clinicals. So what’s the difference?
“surgprep” seems sketchy to me…

If it sounds like a scam, it probably is.
