This 5-day in-person, live webinar, or online self-paced CT bootcamp course combined with ScanLabCT™ completely redefines cross-training. It allows technologists to learn CT technology and become part of the evolution toward computerized digital imaging. This is an opportunity to improve your technical knowledge and prepare for the ARRT® CT Registry Examination to obtain CT tech certification.
If you want to increase your job opportunities and have a more satisfying work experience, this CT bootcamp course is for you!
This computed tomography training is perfect for radiologic technologists wishing to enter the field of CT scanning with no previous experience and technologists who have worked in CT without extensive formal training or CT tech certification. This CT tech cross-training program is also appropriate for technologists working with hybrid imaging systems that include CT such as PET/CT or SPECT/CT. A working background in cross-sectional anatomy is desirable but is not required for completion of the CT program.
Medical imaging technology has changed tremendously since the Nobel prize-winning development of computed tomography. Knowledge of advanced imaging technology is essential for radiologic technologists to grow in the field of radiography.
This 40.75-credit activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT®, required for certification and registration.
The benefits of our expert-taught live CT tech training with experienced CT experts and a virtual CT simulator:
Receive comprehensive CT cross-training in just 5 days
A complete set of skills to begin a promising career in the field of CT which continues to have a significant impact on medicine
Knowledge of CT technology providing a basis for growth and future opportunities in the field
Labs that replicate clinical scans creating real-world hands-on training without the risk to patients
Accelerated skill building, critical thinking and retention for CT certification exam success
Understanding CT Tech Certification
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.

College Certificate vs CT Tech Certification
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.
Why Consider MTMI for CT Tech Preparation?
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.

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.
- The cost is $3,000 for your 8 week clinical rotation. (Student is responsible for all housing, travel, and food.)
- Student is also responsible for the cost of prerequisites including immunizations, background check, drug test, licensures and other requirements.
- The full 8-week clinical rotation must be paid in advance, prior to starting your clinical rotation.
- While 8 weeks is adequate time to meet ARRT® clinical requirements, some students may learn at a different pace and need additional clinical time. The cost for each additional week (after completion of 8 weeks) is $375 per week.
- Clinical experience placement is based on availability at MTMI partner facilities.
Cancellation Policy:
- If student cancels before clinical rotation starts, full refund minus $200 non-refundable deposit.
- If student cancels within first 4 weeks of clinical rotation, 40% refund ($1200).
- If student cancels after first 4 weeks, no refund will be given.
A $200 non-refundable deposit is required. Please contact MTMI for more details at mtmieducation@mtmi.net or call 800-765-6864.
