When you become a Registered Technologist (R.T.), patients will be at the heart of everything you do. It’s important to always have the knowledge and skills needed to provide the best possible care to those you serve. That’s why ARRT requires R.T.s to maintain their certification and registration by fulfilling a variety of important requirements.
To begin, you'll need to remain compliant with ARRT Rules and Regulations and ARRT Standards of Ethics. In addition, you'll need to meet the following requirements listed on this page.

As an R.T., you’ll need to renew your certification and registration every year. In order to do so, you must be current with your biennial Continuing Education (CE) Requirements (see section below). In addition, to renew an R.R.A. credential, or a credential in a discipline you earned using the postprimary eligibility pathway, you must also maintain certification and registration in the related supporting discipline.
Your annual renewal deadline will always be the last day of your birth month. You can renew quickly and easily online. And you’ll find that our renewal fees are significantly lower than those of many other credentialing organizations.
Who must complete biennial CE?
All R.T.s and R.R.A.s.
When/how often?
You’ll report your CE activities every two years (biennially) as part of your annual renewal process. We call the two years during which you complete CE a “biennium.” Your biennium will end on the last day of the month before your birth month every other year. Your annual renewal and your CE biennium deadlines will be two separate dates.
