Submit Credits

One important benefit of AST membership is the submitting and archiving of continuing education (CE) credits. AST archives members's credits for free and transfers them automatically to the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) for certification renewal.

For more information about earning and submitting CE credits, please see Staying Certified A-Z.

Verify that your credits were earned from an AST-approved provider.

To submit credits, please download the CE Reporting Form, and fill out as directed. Credits submitted without this form will be returned.

We accept money orders, personal checks, institutional checks, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Please make checks payable to AST.
