RPSGT Board Prep
This course prepares students for the CPSGT & RPSGT exams, aligning with the BRPT's RPSGT Exam Blueprint. It draws from authoritative resources such as the AASM Scoring Manual v3 and allows unlimited lesson replays and quiz retakes. Designed for all levels, no prerequisites are needed.
short, easy-to-understand microlearning style video lessons
hand-crafted and instructed by an award-winning sleep technologist who has a passion for educating
relevant & practical learning material that is to the point and based on 20+ years of real-life experience
Course Overview
Introduction
This course is perfect for those already eligible or soon to be eligible to take the CPSGT & RPSGT exam with the BRPT. Just like in the RPSGT Exam Blueprint, each domain is divided into 3 tasks to give direct focus on specific content that needs to be reviewed before taking your actual exam with the BRPT. The content in this course was obtained from information within the AASM Manual for Scoring v3.0, The AAST Technical Guidelines, The ICSD-3 and some references to the Fundamentals of Sleep Technology, 2nd Edition. Also good to note that Domain 3 comes directly from the new course we created called The Manual, so those that take this course will get about 85% of the course content in that course.
This course will allow you watch the lessons as many times as needed to help gain understanding and you can take the quizzes as many times as needed as well to make sure you have been able to retain the key takeaways from each micro-lesson.

Course Structure
This course is built to the BRPT's RPSGT Exam Blueprint to help in your exam readiness. Just like in the blueprint, each domain is divided into 3 tasks to give direct focus on content that needs to be reviewed before taking your actual exam with the BRPT.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is perfect for individuals needing to prepare for taking the CPSGT or RPSGT exam or those just wanting to get fundamental review of sleep technology. even for those taking the CPSGT.
Prerequisites
None. However, this course would be most beneficial for individuals that are already eligible for the CPSGT or RPSGT exam. If you are needing to gain exam eligibility with the BRPT, then the Online Self Study may be a better choice if you are planning to utilize the experience pathways 1 of the CPSGT and RPSGT or pathway 3 of the CPSGT or 4 of the RPSGT related to Focused 2 Training.
BRPT-Required Survey
In accordance with the BRPT's requirements for courses eligible for CSTE Credits, a brief survey will be provided upon completion of the course material. Participants will be asked to indicate their level of agreement with each question. We appreciate your participation in helping us not only meet but also exceed the BRPT's standards for our courses.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion to showcase your educational learning activity.

Course Reviews
"
Most questions on quizzes have way too many obvious joke answers, so I never feel like I need to apply my knowledge to any questions. So many questions will ask things like "Why should the sleep technologist do this thing in this scenario", which SHOULD be a good question, but when three of the four possible multiple choice answers are things like "To save money" "To take less effort" "To make my job easier" it just barely feels like a question and more like an interview from captain obvious. A lot of the time you can even just click on the answer with the most words and it will be right. The quizzes do not make me feel any more prepared to take the RPSGT exam. I do understand how much time and effort it takes to make these courses, so I don't blame you for making the quizzes a bit simple. Besides that, the course is very helpful and the lectures are very informative. Thank you for all the hard work!

Michael,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us about the RPSGT Board Prep course. We’re thrilled to hear that you found the lectures informative and the course helpful overall. Your insights about the quiz questions mean a lot to us and we love hearing feedback form our students! Our goal in designing these quizzes has been to support student learning and retention by focusing on the right answers, and less on the wrong answers. Though we certainly understand how a quiz could be perceived as unhelpful if it isn't difficult enough.
We’ll be using your feedback as we review the quiz questions to ensure it’s both rigorous and relevant, helping students feel well-prepared for the RPSGT exam. Continuous improvement is our priority, and we’re grateful for students like you who help us in that process. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments and for being part of First Sleep School.

This is a really great course! I enjoyed my time throughout. These modules are well detailed and easy to follow. Larry really does a great job of breaking down the AASM guidelines and procedures to make it easily digestible and really relaying what you need to know in context of the AASM and from his vast personal work experience. The quiz set after every lesson is a great skill check and they are a great way to round out those lessons. Larry is a great instructor and I always cannot recommend him enough. I always tell people that are interested in the field to get started here just due to the easy of access to education this company provides. This course has made me more confident in my ability within this profession and is a great resource to reference since it is all categorized. I definitely recommend this if you are preparing to take your RPSGT, or even if you are looking to further your understanding in the field after taking an introduction course.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about the course.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our support team.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our support team.
How will I access my course materials?
After you purchase and enroll into a course, you'll be given access to your own student dashboard. There you'll find all the courses you're enrolled in. You'll also be able to manage your user profile, view/download certificates, view order histories, and monitor course completion progress.
How is the course material presented?
Our courses follow a microlearning approach, breaking down each lesson into two parts:
- A concise on-screen video presentation.
- A brief quiz that covers the specific topics discussed in the previous video.
Why do you take the microlearning approach?
We intentionally structure our courses this way because we've found that presenting information in short, focused bursts significantly enhances retention rates and improves understanding.
How long are the video lessons?
On average, our video lessons are about 5 minutes long. Some of our more complex topics may reach up to 15 minutes long, while others can be as short as 1 minute long.
What happens after a video lesson?
Upon completing each video lesson, you'll have the option to rewatch it as many times as you wish or proceed to the quiz. You'll also have the ability to come back to watch or reference the video lesson as needed between quiz attempts.
What can I expect from the quizzes?
After each lesson, you'll be prompted to take a brief quiz comprising of about 5 questions, depending on how long the video was. These quizzes are not timed, and you'll have multiple attempts to achieve a passing grade.
How do I progress to the next lesson?
To advance, you need to earn a passing grade of 80% on the quiz. You can rewatch the video lesson between quiz attempts if needed.
How do I access my certificate of completion at the end of the course?
There are 3 ways you can download your certificates. The method we recommend is to:
- Login to your dashboard, and click your name in the top right corner.
- Then click "My Account".
- Navigate to the Certificates tab, then click "View" next to the certificate you want to view.
- Then click "Download PDF". If it asks you to allow downloads, click "Allow".
We like to suggest this method because it makes viewing and downloading multiple certificates at once quick and easy. If you run into any trouble, contact us, and we'll help you out.
We're here to help.
