At the end of each module you must pass a short examination before proceeding. You may take the exam as many times as is necessary to earn a grade of 70 percent or higher. You may review the module and take the exam as many times as necessary. Once you successfully complete the exam with a grade of 70 percent or higher you will not be able to view the module again.

After completing the self-study modules, students who meet the eligibility criteria can take the next step toward becoming a sleep technologist by applying to take the American Board of Sleep Medicine's RST Exam or the RPSGT Exam. The AASM will maintain certification records that show the sleep technology technician’s completion of the AASM A-STEP Self-Study Modules. This information will be made available for the technician to give to future employers. The AASM will provide PDF transcripts to students for a $20 charge.
