Do You Need to Meet ALL of the ARRT® Clinical Requirements?

MTMI has established an 8-week program where you can obtain all ARRT® clinical experience requirements needed to sit for the ARRT® CT board registry certification exam. In order to be eligible, attendees must complete MTMI's CT course. This is required by our partnering facilities.

Students are responsible for their own housing, travel, and food. In addition, students must cover the cost of prerequisites such as immunizations, background checks, drug tests, licensure, and other required documentation.

Full payment for the 8-week program is due in advance before the clinical rotation begins. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot. If you cancel before your clinical rotation begins, you’ll receive a full refund minus the $200 deposit. Cancellations within the first 4 weeks of the rotation will be refunded at 40%, and no refunds will be issued after 4 weeks.

Please contact MTMI for more details at mtmieducation@mtmi.net or call 800-765-6864.

The cost of an 8-week clinical rotation is $3,000
Extra weeks can be added at a rate of $375 per week

CT Training Course for Technologists Educational Objectives

At the completion of this accredited CT program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the basic principles and concepts of computed tomography
  • Incorporate CT procedures and scanning techniques learned to best demonstrate anatomy and pathology
  • Describe techniques in manipulating CT parameters to optimize image quality
  • Recognize CT artifacts and describe techniques to minimize their occurrence
  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of various CT scanner configurations
  • Review and understand radiation exposures in CT, how to measure and report CT dose and dose reduction techniques
  • Explain the basic functions of ScanLabCT software in order to perform simulated CT scans

Educational Resources/FAQ

CT technologists must be certified to perform CT scans. To obtain CT tech certification, you must complete a radiologic technologist program. After completing the education, the individual must pass a certification board exam typically with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT®).

An ARRT® Registered Technologist may take the ARRT® CT certification exam after completing a continuing education CT program like this one with at least 16 hours of structured education plus performing clinical examinations on real patients as part of the application for the CT tech certification exam. Read more about how to become a CT scan technologist in our full blog!

Figuring out the best way to become certified can be confusing for many students. It is a common myth that students need to complete a college certificate program to become a certified CT tech. This is not the case at all. Completing a college program or a course like the one we offer at MTMI does not automatically certify you to become a CT tech. In fact, no matter which type of program or course you choose, you will still need to pass the CT tech certification exam and meet the minimum required clinical hours.

If you are searching for online CT tech programs or efficient courses, we think you will like what MTMI offers. While every student has different needs and goals, we aim to offer an efficient, affordable, and comprehensive experience. College programs may have longer timelines for completion, higher costs, and additional course requirements that fall outside the scope of relevance for radiation safety and CT certificate preparation.

Plus, this course is approved by ASRT for continuing education credits and meets the ARRT® structured education requirements to sit for the CT tech certification exam, as long as your clinical experience requirements have also been met.

Prerequisites for this course are ARRT® or NMTCB registration or state licensure. Contact MTMI for details.
