The Accredited Sleep Technologist Education Program (ASTEP) program is an accredited program set up by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine to provide standardized education for sleep trainees and technicians. It contains both ASTEP I, which consists of 80 hours of didactics, and ASTEP II, that consists of 14 teaching modules that are performed online. Currently, completion of ASTEP II is a prerequisite for the sleep registry examination. Since July of 2010, both ASTEP I and ASTEP II are required prior to taking the Board of Registered Polysomnography Technologists (BRPT) exam. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is the accrediting body. Cleveland Clinic Sleep Disorders Center is currently the only accredited program offering ASTEP.
