Our courses have been awarded continuing education credit by an American Registry of Radiologic Technologists® (ARRT®) approved Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM) such as the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA), and the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). Our courses also meet national registry requirements for ARDMS, NMTCB, CCI, MQSA, and ARMRIT.
Certain states such as Texas, Florida, California, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Iowa have specific requirements. We have designed select courses that meet requirements in these states, but it is the responsibility of the technologist to ensure the selected course meets their state’s requirements.
Get Your CEU is an approved provider (#3201355) by the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Control.

Yes! The California Department of Public Health-Radiologic Health Branch regulations state that any CE course that covers the application of X-rays to the human body and is approved by an ARRT® credentialing body meets continuing education requirements. Our X-ray CE courses are approved by ARRT® credentialing bodies—the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) , the Association for Medical Imaging (AHRA) or the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) —and are therefore accepted by California.
Each course lists the states that accept the course, so make sure you review that section. If you have any questions, please contact us and we can help you.
Yes! All Get Your CEU courses are accepted by the state of Florida. Every two weeks, through electronic submission, we report CE activity to the State of Florida on behalf of our customers. A few courses require that you attach the certificate during your renewal.
To be active status the ARRT® requires 24 category “A” CE credits every two years (biennium). Your biennium starts the year you become registered and is linked to your birth month. You must submit your CE credits within the three months prior to your birth month. Example: If you were born in October you must submit your credits every two years between July-September to be within your submission window. If you miss the window the ARRT® will put you on CE probation. You will have to pay an additional fee and submit your CE for approval within six months to be removed from probation.

Yes, we keep a record for our customers. You can log into your account and check the courses you have taken and what year.
You need a minimum of 75% to pass. Our post-tests are designed to flow with the chapter course material, so failure rarely occurs. We are only allowed to tell you how many questions you missed, but not which questions. You are allowed three attempts to pass. If you do not pass in three attempts, we will refund the course and allow you to choose another one. Refunds only apply to the post-test and will be done in the same form of payment used to purchase the test. We want you to be successful.
The ARRT® has specific requirements for the eleven post-primary areas identified for post-primary certification. Get Your CEU courses have been coded by the ARRT® and may be used to meet all or some of the education requirements. You can access coding for each course by selecting the course and then selecting the ARRT® coding button, or you can reference the entire list by specialty under the Education/CQR link on the top of the home page.
When pursuing a credential using the post primary pathway, you must complete 16 hours of structured education that:
• Reflect the Examination Content Specifications for the discipline you’re pursuing
• Include at least one credit from each of the document’s major content categories
You’ll need to complete your structured education requirements within the 24 months before you submit your post primary application. After you finish each activity, you’ll log in to your ARRT® account and use the post primary tool to document your structured education.
For more information contact the ARRT® website or you may call the ARRT® at (651)687-0048.

As outlined by the ARRT®, you’ll complete CQR once every 10 years for each ARRT® credential you’ve earned since 2011. If you’re a Registered Radiologist Assistant, you’ll fulfill CQR for that discipline too, regardless of when you earned it. You’ll have three years to finish the process, and the ARRT® will notify you when your compliance window opens. At that point, you’ll work through CQR in three easy steps.
- Professional Profile: You’ll identify the types of procedures you perform and how often you perform them. You’ll then see how your experience compares to that of others in your discipline.
- Structured Self-Assessment: The Structured Self-Assessment (SSA) isn’t a test – and you can’t fail. It will simply help you identify any gaps in knowledge related to your credentials. You’ll have options for taking your SSA at a Pearson VUE professional center or online at home with a remote proctor monitoring you through a webcam.
Prescribed CE: If your SSA reveals any areas for learning opportunities the ARRT® will prescribe specific Continuing Education activities for you to complete. In most cases, those prescribed CE activities will also count towards your biennium CE requirements. For more information, please contact the ARRT® via phone at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8540, or on their website.
Yes! Courses you complete for CQR can also be used toward the 24 credits you need for your ARRT® biennium. When you total the credits for the ARRT® make sure you use the credits for the course, not the CQR credits. Credits approved for CQR are not the same as the credits approved for the course.
Category A+ credits are credits required for Registered Radiology Assistants (R.R.A.®) that are associated with their daily practice. If you are a radiologic technologist, you can take either Category A+ or A credits.
We do not send your CE credits to the ARRT®. When you renew your registration, you will report your CE activities on the ARRT® report form.
A random audit of registrants is done each year which asks for proof of your CE completion. A copy of your certificate should be sent to the ARRT® with your completed audit form. If there are any discrepancies the ARRT® will contact us to verify credits earned. If you do not respond to an audit request, the ARRT® will discontinue your registration and your license will need to be reinstated.
You should always keep a copy of your CE certificate, and you may also print another copy from the Get Your CEU website.
For more information, please contact the ARRT® via phone at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8540, or on their website.
If you didn’t meet your CE requirements your license will transfer to a CE probation status. You will have six months to complete your CE requirements without any additional penalty credits. You will need to submit your CE credits and pay a fee to have your license reinstated.
For more information, please contact the ARRT® via phone at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8540, or on their website.
Your biennium is linked to a two-year period that is determined by your birth month. The biennium begins on the first day of your birth month and extends for two years to end on the last day of the month prior to your birth month. Biennium dates are listed on the annual Application for Renewal and Certification Registration and are printed on your pocket credential card.
A new technologist who has recently earned their first certification and registration will begin the CE requirements on the first day of their next birth month after the examination.
For example: A new technologist who has an October birth date and initial certification and registration in June 2017. His/her biennium will begin on October 1, 2017 and continue to September 30, 2019.
For more information, please contact the ARRT® via phone at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8540, or on their website.
