What is the minimum education requirement to qualify for the CPSGT exam?

The minimum education requirement to qualify for the CPSGT exam is a high school diploma or equivalent. This requirement reflects the foundational level of education necessary to understand the basic concepts of polysomnography and sleep study practices. Since the CPSGT designation is entry-level, the focus is on ensuring individuals have a basic understanding of health sciences, as well as the ability to comprehend training materials that will prepare them for the role of a polysomnographic technician.

The other options, while potentially beneficial for advancing in the field, exceed the minimum requirements set by the credentialing organization for this particular entry-level examination. A bachelor's degree in sleep medicine or an associate degree in healthcare might provide more specialized training but are not necessary for eligibility. Similarly, a certification in respiratory therapy, though useful for those seeking to incorporate respiratory techniques in their work, is not a requirement for sitting the CPSGT exam.
