The American Society of Anesthesia Technologists & Technicians, or ASATT, based in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, is a nonprofit, educational organization responsible for the standards of technologist/technician competency in all areas of anesthesia.
ASATT's mission is to establish a professional entity for the anesthesia technician that will positively affect health care and standards of quality in patient care by providing a safe anesthetic environment.
ASATT has the only nationally recognized certification for technicians ( Cer.A.T.) and technologists ( Cer.A.T.T.). [2]
Beginning July 25, 2015, ASATT will be phasing out the technician exam (Cer.A.T.) and on-the-job training for the Anesthesia Technology profession. The certification is still valid for those who hold it. [3]
Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) exam.
