There is no standalone school for this role. People are hired into an anatomical gift or willed-body program, often with donation or tissue-banking experience, and develop program-specific knowledge in post. AATB is the standards body and offers the CTBS credential.

Program details change. Confirm the credential, cost, and admission requirements with the school, and check what your state licensing board accepts, before you apply.
