1 New York’s statute indicates the individual must have “appropriate education” but does not indicate specifically what education is necessary

2 North Carolina’s statute indicates the individual must be registered with the Board of Registered Polysomnograpic Technologists (BRPT). It does not specifically indicate an educational requirement, however one pathway to eligibility to sit for the BRPT exam is graduation from a CAAHEP accredited program although there are other pathways as well.
