Pathway to Licensure

In general, Oregon Tech's online certificate in Polysomnographic Technology is an eligibility pathway to state licensure since it is a CAAHEP accredited program, however individual state requirements vary. Oregon Tech also offers an Associate of Applied Science in Polysomnographic Technology; applicants to the AAS program also complete the certificate in PSG or enroll at Oregon Tech with their RPSGT credential already.

As part of an ongoing project, we are researching each state's licensure requirements. If you do not see your state's license information yet, please check that licensing board for more information. Official state websites should always be used as the primary source of information when reviewing license requirements.
