CSTE Approval Criteria
To be considered for approval, an educational activity must:

- Address an identified need within the sleep technology profession
- Include written learning objectives
- Use instructional methods that support those objectives

Please note: Vendor-specific product demonstrations and promotional content are not eligible for CSTE approval. Topics related to business or laboratory management must be directly relevant to sleep medicine and sleep technology practice.
Please note: Exam preparation courses may qualify for CSTE approval only when they are intended for individuals who do not already hold the credential being covered. For example, an RPSGT Exam Prep Course may be offered to CPSGT or CCSH credential holders preparing for the RPSGT examination, but not to current RPSGT credential holders.
