The main criteria should be whether you can perform a good study. The Registry exam used to be an assurance of that since one had to actually perform a set up in front of the proctors.
I have two AAS degrees and a certificate for a one year course. I learned sleep mostly on my own and had it consolidated during a two week course at one of these "cram" schools. I ran a sleep center for 12 years, trained a number of techs and have been asked to speak to the general public, schools, and during the APSS meetings.
My Point: Sometimes it doesn't matter where or how a person is trained. If they won't do a good job because they don't want to or see no reason to do their best at all times, that is just the way it will be. Sleepygirl was ojt'd and from her other posts here I think she is probably a first rate tech. The only current across the board measure of a sleep tech is whether they are registered or not. That in itself only means that they passed an exam. I have worked with people who were registered resp therapists who could not put a nebulizer together when I asked how they ever got to where they were they said they took tests well.
Let's back the BRPT and give recognition to those registered techs who have proven they know their stuff.Sorry to be so long winded about this...
