Help & FAQ

How home study courses work:

It's easy! All materials are downloaded instantly upon purchase, nothing will be mailed to you. Once you have downloaded your continuing education home study course, simply read the reading material provided, then answer the post-test. The post-test is open study, contains multiple choice and true and false questions, and may be completed at your convenience (prior to course expiration date). Once you complete the post-test you may take the test online, fax, email or mail us your answer sheet. You must receive a score of 75 percent or better to be issued a certificate of completion. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, if you are not completely satisfied with your course you may request a re-fund within 10 days of purchase as long as you have not been issued a certificate of completion. Once a certificate of completion is issued, refunds will not be granted.

Retaking Exams:

ARRT regulations allow a total of three attempts at an exam. Please refer to ARRT's website for detailed information regarding repeating CE activities. There are no additional fees if a test has to be re-taken. 

 Category A and A+?

Category A and A+ activities have been reviewed and approved by an ARRT-Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM). A RCEEM is a quality-control mechanism for CE activities.

What is Category A credit?

Category A activities are those evaluated and approved by a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM). Activities approved by a RCEEM are awarded either Category A or A+ credit. When choosing your CE activities, look for Category A or A+ approval from an ARRT approved RCEEM. All courses offered by X-RAY CE are approved by an ARRT recognized RCEEM and are accepted by the ARRT for Continuing Education Credit.

What is Category A+ credit?

Category A+ credit is awarded to CE activities that meet the content criteria for registered radiologist assistants. Category A+ CE materials must be related to one or more clinical activities in the role delineation of the R.R.A., and the activity must be approved by an organization recognized by the ARRT as an A+ CE evaluation mechanism. 

R.T.s may complete A+ activities to satisfy part or all of their required CE credits each biennium as set forth by ARRT guidelines.

Can I purchase the same course more than once?

Activities may be available in multiple formats or from different CE sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat a self-learning CE activity for credit if it was reported in the same CE biennium. Please refer to the ARRTs website for further information regarding repeating CE activities.

Purchasing options:

For some of our courses you can purchase an additional test by itself for a reduced price. If you buy the additional test only, you will not receive the book. Additional test option is for someone who already has the book.

Do you report my CE activity to ARRT?

We do not report your credits to the ARRT. At the end of a biennium or reporting period, the ARRT will provide the technologist with a CE report form along with the application for renewal of registration. The technologist will be required to list the completed CE activities on the CE report form. When the CE report form is received in the ARRT office, a random sample of registrants will be selected and asked to provide copies of documentation of CE participation. This documentation is the certificate of completion we send to you. When you receive your certificate of completion from X-RAY CE, be sure to keep it in a safe place in case you are audited by the ARRT. For the ARRT requirements for continuing education, go to the ARRT website at www.arrt.org

What do "DIRECT" and "INDIRECT" mean on my certificate of completion?

This indicates whether or not the course is directly related to the use of ionizing radiation, a distinction required for Texas licensure CE requirements.

Certificate policies:

Successful completion requires a passing score of 75%. If you do not pass, ARRT regulations allow the exam to be attempted for two additional attempts. If the exam is not successfully passed after three attempts, no continuing education credit will be given during the current CE biennium. If you take your test in the online testing center your certificate will be issued instantly upon a passing score and can be located in your "My Reports" tab.  We can also fax, email or mail you your certificate on request. Certificate issue date is the date answer sheet is received and processed via fax, successfully completed in online testing center or received by mail. No back dating of certificates per ARRT Regulations. 

Course policies:

All courses must be completed before the expiration date to receive credit. Courses are not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or treatment. If you order a discontinued course, you will be notified to select another course or get a full refund.
