The program is a CAAHEP-accredited Polysomnography Program.  As such,  the curriculum and  instruction meets the requirements  of that accrediting body and  program completers are eligible to take the Polysomnography exam of the Board of Registration in Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) and The Medical Board of California Licensure exam. 

Students  must secure an appropriate clinical site** prior to beginning the program, and must successfully complete 28.5 units of required coursework as set forth below:  

**Note:  Clinical sites may be identified using  the listing of accredited labs provided by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine:  https://sleepeducation.org/sleep-center/.  

Following completion of the program, students must register and successfully pass the  Board of Registration in Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) and The Medical Board of California Licensure exams to be qualified for employment as Polysomnographic Technologists.
