Polysomnographic technologists (sleep technicians) watch adults and children through the night in sleep labs: they attach sensors, observe patients, collect data and take notes during a sleep study, then summarize it for a sleep physician who makes the diagnosis. Most sleep studies happen at night.¹ One credential employers look for, the BRPT's Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT), takes either graduating from a CAAHEP- or CoARC-accredited polysomnography program or 960 hours of clinical experience with approved training, and a passed exam.²

In Mississippi, the one program asks for a high school diploma or equivalent.

Where the Mississippi sleep technician program numbers come from

Which Mississippi sleep technician programs are on this list?

These are the sleep technician programs Mississippi approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).¹⁰ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Mississippi offers.

How the prices and results of Mississippi sleep technician programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
