Can I repeat a CE course that I have already taken?

The ARRT & the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) do not allow radiographers to repeat any CE course in the same biennium cycle.  However, on January 1, 2016, the ARRT changed their guidelines and now allow technologists to repeat a CE course in a subsequent biennium cycle. Zapp Education is not responsible for ensuring that you do not repeat a course in the same CE biennium cycle. Please review all the courses you have taken with us prior to taking other courses to avoid duplication. Also, each state has their own licensures and have different regulations – check with your licensing board as to whether they will allow you to repeat a CE course in a subsequent biennium.

CE Reporting

---

Does Zapp Education report my CE credits to the ASRT or ARRT®

No. We only track the courses completed with a 75% score. Per regulations, ASRT nor ARRT allow CE providers to report CE to them. However, one benefit of being an ASRT member is that they will track your credits (once you send them to ASRT), then they will forward them to the ARRT on your behalf during your biennium.

I need to add or update my respective identifier number on my certificate.

You can update your “Profile” at your convenience. If you have an issue or question, please contact us at 559 – 859-4725 or email us at zappeducation@gmail.com

What is importance of expiration date of course?

Course test must be taken BEFORE the expiration date. Once the expiration date passes, the test is no longer valid. Credits are not applicable in a previous or forthcoming biennium. Consequently, if you take a course before it expires, you may submit it after the expiration date.

Florida – do you report my CE credits to my state?

Yes. All our courses are approved by the ASRT for 1 credit (or more); also accredited by the state of Florida. Every two weeks, an electronic invoice is sent on behalf of our subscribers living or practicing in the state of Florida. Notes: When you register with Zapp Education, be sure to check correct box: □ I live and work in Florida □ I work in Florida but do not live there If you have time constraints when renewing your Florida State license, your best option is to fax your certificates to the State of Florida at 850-921-6365 (takes the State of Florida several weeks to reflect reported credits from CE providers in your account).
