✅ Pathway to Becoming a Registered or Certified Sleep Technologist (RPSGT/CPSGT)

Step 1: Complete the ASTEP Introduction to Sleep Medicine for Sleep Technologist Course
This course is the first requirement in the Focused Training Pathway and includes both online and in-person instruction. The hands-on portion is essential and cannot be completed online, as it enables you to apply theory in a real-world setting.

Step 2: Pass the Final Exam
At the end of the course, you’ll take a 106-question online final exam, based on the material covered.

• A $50 one-time exam fee applies (not included in tuition).
   
• You’ll have three attempts to pass with a 70% or higher score.
   
• Your instructor will provide registration details and guidance.
   

Step 3: Complete the Online Self‑Study Modules

After passing the final exam, you’ll proceed with the Self-Study Modules from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). These interactive modules include lessons with post-module quizzes and make up the second part of the ASTEP program.
