Certification Description
The Certified Polysomnographic Technician (CPSGT) is an entry-level certification earned by individuals new to the sleep field. It is time-limited; certificate holders must earn the RPSGT credential within three years or lose the CPSGT designation.
The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) sets the credentialing standards for the CPSGT certificate and develops, maintains and administers the CPSGT examination for polysomnographic technicians. The CPSGT certificate program reflects a commitment to competency-based testing early in a sleep professional’s career, and requires an early and on-going commitment to continuing education, both cornerstones in enhancing the level of professionalism in the sleep field.
To become certified as a CPSGT, a technician must have necessary clinical experience, hold BLS/CPR certification or its equivalent, adhere to the BRPT Standards of Conduct and pass the CPSGT exam.
