About this course

This computed radiography Level II add-on was developed and designed to meet SNT-TC-1A, NAS 410, and CP-189. It addresses Note 7 training requirements from SNT-TC-1A:2024 with Addendum (Table 6.3.1 A) for film RT Level II personnel adding CR. Formal training hours only, not employer certification.

For film radiographers who already hold RT Level II and need documented CR theory plus equipment familiarization. Employer acceptance, actual-system practicals, experience, examinations, and certification stay under the written practice.

Curriculum

What you'll learn

Level II24 hours

24-hour Computed Radiography Level II Add-On Formal Training for eligible film RT Level II personnel. Eight hours are theory, application, qualification controls, and assessment. Sixteen hours are equipment familiarization taught with equipment lessons and simulators, not hands-on shop time. Completion is formal training, not employer certification.

Lessons include narration and quizzes, plus equipment simulators. Module quizzes sit at the end of each teaching module. The level closes with a final exam.

Questions about Computed Radiography Level II Add-On Formal Training

Who is the CR Level II add-on designed for?

This add-on is for film radiographers who already hold RT Level II and are adding computed radiography. Confirm the prerequisite qualification and your employer's training plan before enrolling.

How is computed radiography different from DR?

CR uses an imaging plate and a separate reader. The DR add-on focuses on digital detector array systems. Choose the course that matches the equipment and technique being added to your employer's program.

Does the CR add-on issue employer certification?

No. It documents formal training. Employer acceptance, actual-system practicals, experience, examinations and certification remain under your employer's written practice.
