Are your courses ARRT-approved?
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) does not approve courses. Rather, it requires approval to come from an ARRT-approved RCEEM (Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism). All of our courses are approved for Category A credits by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), which is an RCEEM. Most states accept ASRT-approved courses for radiology continuing education credit with no additional approvals required. Always verify the requirements with your state board prior to enrolling in a course.

Back to TopHow do you choose how many credit hours a course is worth?
The amount of credit hours a course is worth is determined by the approving board (licensing board).
Back to TopFor Florida licensees, do you report course completions to CE Broker?
Yes. Everyone with a Florida address is automatically reported to the CE Broker. Licensees living outside of Florida, but taking courses for their Florida license, must tell us the courses are for their Florida license or they must report to them to CE Broker themselves.
Back to TopCan I use ASRT-approved activities to meet the CE requirements for my California state license?
The California Department of Health Services radiologic technology regulations require CE credits to be earned in "subjects related to the application of x-ray to the human body." Acceptable CE subjects include x-ray administration, x-ray management, x-ray pathology, x-ray diagnosis and x-ray quality control. Because subjects in MRI and ultrasound are not related to the application of x-ray to the human body, the California Department of Health will not accept them for CE credit. The California Department of Health will accept CE activities approved by ASRT, as long as the subjects meet the regulatory requirements.
