The Registry Examination System or RRT was developed to objectively measure essential tasks required of advanced respiratory therapists and to set uniform standards for measuring such knowledge. The CRT credential is a prerequisite for admission to the Registry Examination.

The National Board for Respiratory Care, Inc. (NBRC) is a voluntary health certifying board created in 1960 to evaluate the professional competence of respiratory therapists and pulmonary technologists. The primary purposes of the NBRC are to prepare and conduct examinations to test the qualifications of candidates for certification and registration in defined areas of respiratory care.

The RRT Examinations consist of a written portion and a clinical simulation portion; candidates must schedule separate examination appointments for each of these portions. However, candidates may attempt both parts on the same day, provided testing sessions are available. Individuals who attempt both parts of the examination and achieve passing scores will be awarded the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential.

The RRT exam has two parts: the written part and the Clinical Simulation Examination (CSE) part:

The Written Registry Examination for AdvancedRespiratory Therapists consists of 115 multiple-choice questions(100 scored questions and 15 pretest questions) covering the recall,application and analysis of patient data, equipment and therapeutic procedures.Written Registry candidates will be given two hours to complete theexamination.

The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and the NBRC adopted a position statement in 2003 recognizing the RRT credential as the standard of excellence in the respiratory care profession. As a result of this position, the AARC and CoARC requested the NBRC consider a time limit on RRT eligibility. The NBRC Board of Trustees approved the new admissions policy in November 2004.

The Clinical Simulation Examination (CSE) consists of 11 separate patient management problems (10 scored problems and one pretest problem). The clinical setting and patient situation for each problem are designed to simulate reality and be relevant to the clinical practice of respiratory care. Candidates will be given four hours to complete the CSE. To ensure that each Clinical Simulation Examination is consistent in content, the 10 scored problems cannot be chosen at random. Such factors as problem length, patient type, disease process, degree of difficulty and content tested by individual problems must be considered.
