Registering for the SCFHS Sterilization Technician Exam: Steps, Attempts, Rescheduling

Last checked: 10 November 2026. The sources are Prometric's SCFHS FAQ (2022) and the SCFHS classification exams page. This is an independent guide, not affiliated with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties or any government body.

In short: you apply for professional classification on Mumaris Plus, SCFHS sets your level and issues an eligibility number, and you book the exam with Prometric at least two working days ahead. SCFHS does not publish the seat fee; it shows when you book.

Steps

1. Apply for professional classification on Mumaris Plus. SCFHS decides from your qualification whether you sit at technician, specialist or health assistant level.
2. When your eligibility number is issued, book on Prometric's SCFHS booking site at least two working days before the date you want.
3. Enter the number and issuing country of your passport or government ID, and bring that same document on test day.
4. Pay by credit card; cash is not accepted. You receive an email confirmation.

Attempts and eligibility period

• You have three attempts. After failing the first and second, you ask SCFHS to reactivate your eligibility number for a third and final attempt.
• Eligibility usually lasts three months from issue, and you may sit the same exam twice in that time.

Rescheduling or cancelling

• 30 days or more before: no fee.
• 16 to 30 days before: a US$50 fee.
• 15 days or less: no refund; you lose the test fee.

These figures are from the 2022 FAQ and may change; check them when you book.

Fees

Neither SCFHS nor Prometric publishes the seat fee for this exam on the pages we checked; it shows when you book and may vary by test country.

Results

For some exams the score or a performance report comes at the end of the test; most give a notice saying when the score will be available. The guidelines set the pass mark for each level: technician 55%, specialist 60%, health assistant 50%.
