HOW ARRT WORKS WITH CE SPONSORS

Nearly 350,000 professionals hold ARRT certification and registration in one or more disciplines. Throughout their careers, they complete continuing education (CE) activities that help keep their qualifications—and their ARRT credentials—up to date. 

Specifically, our Registered Technologists (R.T.s) and Registered Radiologist Assistants (R.R.A.s) registrants must complete CE:

*In these instances, R.T.s and R.R.A.s must complete targeted CE, which means those CE activities must align directly with the content outline for their disciplines. (In addition, R.T.s who hold our Sonography credential must earn biennial CE credits related specifically to sonography.)

To help R.T.s find the right CE for their needs, we maintain a database of acceptable activities. That’s where sponsors come in. 

ABOUT OUR CE DATABASE

ARRT offers a database of educational activities that we guarantee will meet R.T.s’ CE needs. Because of that guarantee, R.T.s are likely to choose most of their educational activities from our database. Adding your activities to our database is a great opportunity for putting your activities in front of a large and motivated audience.

We build our database with the information you provide when you submit your CE activities to us. If you don’t ask us to list your offerings in our CE database, R.T.s might not find them. As a result, they’ll be less likely to select your activities to fulfill their CE requirements. 

After R.T.s choose your educational activities from our database, we’ll return them to your website to get more information and complete the purchase. Our database exists solely to ensure that educational activities align with our content outlines, which list the knowledge and skills needed to perform tasks associated with each discipline. 

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR CE ACTIVITIES TO ARRT’S DATABASE

The process of helping R.T.s find appropriate CE activities begins with you—and with our credit distribution process.

  1. Take a look at our ARRT Stakeholder Document and verify that your activities meet our CE requirements. 
  2. Review our discipline-specific content outlines to see whether your activities fall within one or more of our content areas. You'll find these outlines in our CQR Structured Self-Assessment Content Specifications documents and our Structured Education Requirements documents. 
  3. Have a CE Approver (or ARRT-recognized state entity) approve your activity. 
  4. When you’re ready to submit your activity to ARRT, log in to our CE Sponsor Suite. There, you can quickly and easily upload your activities. 
  5. Next, we’ll review your submission and assign it specific credits for any areas that correspond with our content outlines. 
  6. Then, upon your approval, we’ll integrate your activities into the searchable database that R.T.s use to find CE. Each activity in the database provides a direct link to the CE sponsor's website. 

These steps ensure that CE activities correspond with our content outlines so we can help R.T.s choose educational activities based on their specific needs.

Remember: only activities that we review and to which we assign a credit distribution meet our CE requirements for CQR and structured education.

AREAS IN WHICH WE NEED CE ACTIVITIES

We want R.T.s to have a variety of educational options that meet their learning needs. Sometimes we need additional appropriate activities for certain disciplines and topics. If you have CE options that meet those needs, it’s likely that R.T.s will be interested in your activities.
