Are you ready for the CPSGT and RPSGT exams? The CPSGT certificated was established for entry-level technicians in the sleep field. Those who obtain a CPSGT certificate will be eligible to earn a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist credential, or RPSGT credential, which is a process that must be completed within three years of earning CPSGT certification. This quiz is a must and will prepare you for the exam. You can do it.
