Who Is This For?

Challenging the CPSGT and RPSGT exams? This course may save you time!

We offer BRPT’s Focused 2 sleep training to prepare individuals who plan to challenge the Certified Polysomnographic Technician (CPSGT) credentialing exam. This course introduces them to skills needed in both Level 1 and Level 3 labs. CPSGT is an entry-level certification earned by individuals new to the sleep field. The CPSGT certificate is valid only for three years and cannot be renewed. This training is also taken for the Registered Polysomnographic Technician (RPSGT) credentialing exam. The RPSGT credential is recognized internationally and represents the highest certification in the field for health care professionals who clinically assess patients with sleep disorders.
