"The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) is an independent, nonprofit certification board that cultivates the highest professional and ethical standards for polysomnographic technologists by providing the leading internationally recognized credential in sleep technology – the Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) credential. Since the first credentialing exam administration in 1979 BRPT has credentialed over 20,000 RPSGTs in the United States, Canada, and 32 countries overseas. In March of 2010, the BRPT launched an entry-level certificate exam, the Certified Polysomnographic Technician (CPSGT)." From http://www.brpt.org/default.asp?contentID=19
