How to Track, Complete, and Submit Your ARRT Continuing Education the Right Way

Are you due for ARRT renewal and wondering how to manage your continuing education requirements without stress? Many radiologic technologists are unsure how to organize, complete, and document their CE credits in a way that ensures compliance with ARRT rules. This blog provides a clear, step-by-step breakdown of how to track your progress, complete your courses efficiently, and submit your documentation properly—so your ARRT continuing education is never left to chance.

We'll also explain how online platforms can streamline this entire process and help you meet your renewal deadline.

 

Step 1: Know Your ARRT CE Requirements

The ARRT requires all registered technologists to complete 24 Category A or A+ CE credits every two years. These must be earned within your biennium, the two years ending on the last day of your birth month.

You may also need Structured Education credits if you're pursuing or maintaining a post-primary certification (like CT, MRI, or mammography). All courses used toward your ARRT continuing education must be approved by a recognized accrediting body, such as the ASRT.

 

Step 2: Choose the Right CE Platform

Once you understand your requirements, choose a reliable CE provider that offers:

●     ASRT-approved Category A courses

●     Structured Education (SE) and CQR-labeled content

●     PDF-based, self-paced formats

●     Instant certificate access

The platform should mark all courses as ARRT-accepted and allow you to filter by modality, credit hours, or SE applicability. Providers offering unlimited access plans can be especially helpful if you must complete multiple courses quickly.

All ARRT continuing education courses on the right platform can be completed from any device at your convenience, and results are available instantly.

 

Step 3: Complete Courses and Track Progress

After selecting your courses, review the material carefully and complete the post-course quizzes. Most platforms require a minimum passing score of 70%. Once you pass, you'll receive a certificate that includes all information required by ARRT—including course title, provider, credit hours, and completion date.

To stay organized, keep a dedicated folder (digital or physical) to store all your ARRT continuing education certificates. It's wise to periodically check your ARRT CE Report to ensure all credits are accurately logged.

 

Step 4: Submit Proper Documentation

Technologists are responsible for maintaining their own CE records. The ARRT may request documentation at any time, especially during random audits or Structured Education verification.

Here's what to do:

●     Upload or mail certificates only if requested by ARRT

●     Retain certificates for at least four years

●     Confirm your CE compliance through your ARRT online account before your renewal deadline

All certificates from approved platforms are formatted to meet ARRT documentation standards, so your ARRT continuing education compliance remains intact and audit-ready.

 

Conclusion

Successfully managing your ARRT CE requirements doesn't have to be complicated. By knowing what to track, choosing accredited courses, and maintaining thorough documentation, you can handle your ARRT continuing education confidently—year after year.

Online CE platforms make this process easier than ever. With self-paced options, unlimited access plans, and instant certificates, you can meet your deadlines without disrupting your workflow. Whether renewing your credential or pursuing a new specialization, being strategic about your CE ensures your career stays on track and fully certified.
