Why are some of the credit values changing on certain homestudy programs?
The ARRT will always accept homestudy programs as one of the avenues to complete continuing education, however, the credit values of ALL homestudy programs will change throughout 2006-2008. The credit previously awarded for the time alloted to take the post test portion of the program will no longer count for credit. Therefore, when programs are renewed by the ASRT the values decrease. We suggest you check our website frequently for any updates and changes to our programs. Any questions concerning this change should be directed to the ARRT Dept. of Continuing Education (651) 687-0048 ex.540 or www.arrt.org.
