Certification is a process a provider undergoes to gain and document competency in conscious sedation. This may include didactic lectures, clinical training, clinical simulation, written examinations, oral examinations, reading of appropriate clinical literature, group discussions and observations of actual practice.

After successful completion the practitioner receives a certificate documenting completion of some or all parts of the process leading to qualification in the administration of conscious sedation. Certification is provided by organizations with qualifications and experience in the administration of conscious sedation. Conscious Sedation Consulting provides its certification based on the academic and clinical experience of the partners, the course content, and a written examination.
