Polysomnography Program

This program is designed to cover the theory required for EEG Technologists, Nurses and Respiratory Therapists pursuing careers in sleep medicine and polysomnography. Upon successful completion of the three polysomnography courses, a certificate of completion will be awarded by TRU.

Note: Our program does not currently meet the latest requirements of equivalency to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's A-STEP Self-Study Modules required by the BRPT for the RPSGT exam. Revisions to our courses and program are currently underway in order to enable us to fully meet the BRPT requirements. Please contact us for updates.

For specific eligibility criteria to write this certification examination, please refer directly to the American Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists' web site at http://www.brpt.org.
