CE Credit Packages
Need to renew your credential and want to avoid taking the $499 certifying exam? Renew your credential with any of the 15 CE credit packages AST features. Once your credential has expired, the window to earn qualifying CE credits vanishes and your only option is to recertify by exam through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA).

Members may access CE Credit Package 14 by logging into their account.

Each AST CE Credit Package may only be submitted once in an 8-year period. To ensure you have not previously completed a credit package, log on to your membership account or call Member Services to access your CE Credit History Report.

There are NO refunds on AST journal tests or CE Credit Packages.
