Guide to Maintaining Your ARRT Credential - This guide isn't a handbook, but it provides an overview of a registrant's responsibilities and opportunities, including helpful information about timing and deadlines.
Each one outlines candidate requirements regarding ethics, education, and examination. In addition, the handbooks discuss the application process, explain what to expect on exam day, and go over what happens after you complete the exam. Regardless of when you pursued your first ARRT credential, you should review the current handbook carefully. We might have changed information, policies, and procedures.
If you’re applying for a state license, and ARRT administers your state’s exam, you can view our state licensing handbooks on our state licensing website.
If you have questions about any of our handbooks or the application process, contact ARRT. We’ll direct you to the appropriate department.
