Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential?

The RRT is a nationally recognized credential administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) that signifies a higher level of knowledge, skill, and professional practice competence in respiratory care. It is often the minimum requirement for advanced positions and state licensure.

What organization administers the RRT examination?

The RRT credentialing examinations are administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).

What are the required examinations to earn the RRT credential?

To earn the RRT credential, a candidate must successfully pass two separate NBRC examinations:

  • The Therapist Multiple-Choice (TMC) Examination
  • The Clinical Simulation Examination (CSE)

What are the three main content areas covered on the RRT exam?

The content is divided into three main sections:

  • Clinical Data Evaluation
  • Equipment Operation and Maintenance
  • Therapeutic Procedures

Is the RRT credential the same as the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) credential?

No. The CRT is the entry-level credential earned by passing the lower cut score on the TMC Examination. The RRT is the advanced credential, which requires passing the higher cut score on the TMC and then successfully passing the CSE.

What score is needed to pass the TMC Examination for RRT eligibility?

The exact required score (which is scaled) corresponds to the high cut score. Candidates must consult the official NBRC scoring guides for the current scaled score to confirm RRT eligibility.

What is the minimum educational requirement to be eligible for the RRT exams?

Candidates must be graduates of an entry into practice respiratory therapy education program supported or accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC), and hold a minimum of an Associate Degree.

How long is the RRT credential valid, and what is required to maintain it?

The RRT credential is a lifetime credential, but it must be maintained through the NBRC's Credential Maintenance Program (CMP). This typically requires completing continuing education (CE) activities and paying a maintenance fee every five years.
