Breaking News: BRPT to Offer Certificate-Level Exam
With the goal of establishing a tiered credentialing system in sleep technology and enhancing the professional growth of the field, the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists now will offer the CPSGT, a certificate-level exam. A certificate holder will be a Certified Polysomnographic Technician.
The new certificate will not be a prerequisite to sitting for the RPSGT exam, but rather is being offered as an entry-level certificate for those entering the sleep field, the BRPT stated.
The CPSGT will be offered for the first time in March 2010. The certificate will be time-limited and valid for 36 months, within which time a certificate holder must earn the RPSGT credential, or the CPSGT certificate expires.
Readers- What do you think? What does this mean for the future of the sleep profession? And would you consider taking the CPSGT exam?
