The American Society of Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists (ASET) has awarded all of the courses offered by Larry Head Institute ACE Continuing Education Credits. Both the AASM and AARC accept credits awarded by ASET for continuing education. Please check with your professional organization if other than ASET, AASM, and AARC to ensure the credits awarded by ASET are accepted.

All classes begin at 8:00 A.M. and conclude at 5:00 P.M. daily. The last day of the EEG Board Preparation course is a half day and concludes at noon.

ASET Continuing Education (ACE) credits are awarded for all Larry Head Institute courses. The American Association of Sleep Technologists (AAST) and the American Association of Respiratory Care (AARC) accept ACE credits. If you are a member of another professional society you may want to confirm their acceptance of ACE credits.

Larry Head Institute awards a “Certificate of Completion” for all courses. Certificates of Completion should not be misinterpreted as a registry, license, or validation of competency.

As a past member of ABRET Larry has designed all Larry Head Institute courses to aid the experienced technologist preparing for credentialing examination.

Eligibility requirements for credentialing examinations are outlined on the American Board of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET) website for EEG, Evoked Potentials, and Intraopertative Monitoring. Eligibility requirements for credentialing examination by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) for Polysomnograpy can be found on their website.

Websites of these examination organizations can be found on the right-hand navigation bar under the Professional Organizations link.

National registry or state licensure is not required to perform EEG, EP, IOM, or NCS. Some employers require technologists to be registered / certified or registry-eligible.

The field of Polysomnography encourages credentialing of technologists and a few states have enacted licensure laws.

Along with all the national professional organizations representing technologists Larry Head Institute supports and encourages the credentialing process due to its benefits to the patient, employers and the pride of professional achievement afforded the technologist. Therefore, all of our courses are “Board Preparation” focused.

Comprehensive courses are designed to meet the needs of the practicing technologist and the cross-training allied health professional seeking to improve their knowledge and skills and prepare for national registry examination.

All courses are also aimed at the beginner or inexperienced technologist. Many attend without prior training or experience (some have never worked in the medical field) and complete the course with the knowledge and confidence to perform routine studies.

ABRET (American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists) and the BRPT (Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists) recognize ASET ACE credits for renewal of registry or recertification.

It is recommended you contact the “Board” office to verify recognition of these courses.

Larry Head Institute accepts corporate checks, personal checks, money orders and all major credit cards.
