What is the difference between the Sleep Self Study Program and Focused 2 Training?
The Sleep Self Study program is designed for learners who have the foundational knowledge of sleep and have some experience in the sleep lab.

The Sleep Self Study Program can be completed before or after the Focused 2 training. We recommend that the participants complete their Focused 2 first and then complete the self-study program as a review before they write their BRPT exam.
