The American Society of Anesthesia Technologists & Technicians, or ASATT, based in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, is a non-profit, 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.).

Certification

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.

• Approved programs will be instructing at the Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) level and graduates will be eligible to take the

Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) exam.

• Current Certified Technicians (Cer.A.T.) and Technologists (Cer.A.T.T.) will remain as is, as long as they maintain their certification.
