Anesthesia Technician Certification

The Anesthesia Technician Certification is a free beginner-level, 15-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests anaesthesia technician knowledge — anaesthesia machine, gas supply and equipment checks, airway equipment and emergency support, and patient monitoring, infection control and safety — written to ASATT certification topics, the ASA Standards for Basic Anesthetic Monitoring, MHAUS and CDC disinfection guidance for 2026. Cylinder colours follow US conventions; other countries differ. Score 70% or more on its 15 questions to earn a verifiable Anesthesia Technician Proficiency certificate (SOA-ATZ). Every question is based on published standards and research — including American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (Cer.A.T. and Cer.A.T.T. certification) (ASATT), Standards for Basic Anesthetic Monitoring (American Society of Anesthesiologists), Managing a malignant hyperthermia crisis (Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States) — and each answer is explained with its source.
