  1. What is the minimum number of Category A CE credits that must be completed in the final year of a 2-year ARRT renewal cycle?

    Answer: 0 — credits can all be earned in one year

    ARRT does not require credits to be distributed evenly across both years; all 24 Category A credits can technically be earned at any point during the 2-year cycle.

  2. A technologist holds ARRT primary certification in Radiography and a post-primary in CT. How many total CE credits are required per cycle?

    Answer: 24 total, shared across both credentials

    ARRT allows the same 24 Category A CE credits to satisfy renewal requirements for both the primary and post-primary certifications simultaneously.

  3. Which statement about self-referral in the ARRT CE system is accurate?

    Answer: Only activities from ARRT-approved sponsors qualify for Category A

    Category A credits require the activity to be organized and offered through an ARRT-approved CE sponsor — self-reported or self-created activities do not qualify.

  4. Under ARRT policy, which of the following best describes the purpose of mandatory continuing education for CT technologists?

    Answer: To protect patients by ensuring technologists stay current in their field

    The fundamental purpose of mandatory CE is patient protection — ensuring technologists maintain the knowledge and skills needed for safe, effective practice.

  5. A CT technologist retires and allows their ARRT registration to expire for 8 years, then wishes to return to practice. What is required?

    Answer: Retaking the ARRT CT certification examination

    After an extended lapse beyond ARRT's reinstatement window, technologists are typically required to retake the certification examination to demonstrate current competency.

  6. Which of the following scenarios would trigger ARRT's mandatory ethics disclosure requirement?

    Answer: A technologist is convicted of healthcare fraud

    ARRT's Standards of Ethics require self-disclosure of criminal convictions, including healthcare fraud, within 30 days of the conviction.

  7. ARRT's recertification policy allows CE credits earned through which type of structured journal activity?

    Answer: ARRT-approved self-assessment modules or journal-based CE with post-tests

    Journal-based CE activities qualify only when they include a post-test and are offered through an ARRT-approved sponsor, not casual reading alone.
