You have the ability to search by any number of criteria including:

Or you can browse the course catalog categories and look for a subject of interest.
“What do I do when I find a course of interest?”
By clicking on the course title in the catalog, you can read specifics about a particular course, including course descriptions, number of credits assigned, accrediting entity or sponsor, author, price, etc. You can then purchase (Check Out) a course using our real-time secure credit card transaction server, which provides you with printable receipts for your records.
“What happens after I purchase the course? How do I get my credits?”
Once you have purchased a course you will have access to the test for up to six (6) months depending on the expiration date of the course. So be sure to look to see how much time you have to take the test in the course description. Your access allows you to take the test a maximum of three (3) times. If you do not pass the test in three tries, you will no longer have access to the course content. Once the test has been passed, you can view or print your certificate for up to four (4) years.
Once you have successfully completed your course, you will be supplied with an official certificate, which you can access at any time and print when needed for your records or to supply to your registry when required.
Radiologic Technologists who are members of the ASRT will have their credits electronically transferred upon successful completion of a course. Please note that if you take SDMS accredited courses you will need to print the certificate out and mail or fax to the ASRT. The ASRT database does not contain the accreditation number assigned by the SDMS so they will need to manually record it in your profile.
