Our Certificate Programs
A certificate program provides a mechanism to demonstrate knowledge and clinical competence in a specialized area of practice, promotes standards of excellence and represents a nationally recognized achievement. Each comprehensive program includes a mix of courses, challenge exams, quick self-study modules, and/or virtual lectures and a clinical component, completed under observation of an experienced advisor. These are optional post-graduate certificate programs, and candidates may choose to register for the clinical component once they’ve successfully met the eligibility requirements.
Please read the certificate overview and Handbook for the program that is of interest to you for more details, and reach out with any questions!
The Value of Demonstrated Competence
Completion of our certificate program demonstrates that an MRT has proven experience and validated clinical competence in the program specialty. The program demonstrates high-level academic excellence, as each candidate completes in-depth, peer-reviewed and mentored courses, each developed with post-graduation success in mind. Sites thrive when colleagues, new hires and management can all rely on highly skilled and trusted technologists, and technologists are also most confident when they can demonstrate a validated level of excellence. Teamwork is bolstered by experienced MRTs validating clinical skills, leading to cohesive, trusted and safe practice.
Please note: These certificate programs do not certify an individual to work as an MRT in Canada. Please see the Certification section of the website for more information on how to become certified to work.
