TRSI doesn't give you books or materials to show what you paid for or to use in your studies, not like the other schools do. My friend got a huge box of materials from MTEC, I got barely 3. When I graduated, I heard they were going to use an online resource program but you have to pay for it to keep it as soon as you leave so what good is it to pay for something when you should have gotten it when you signed up and you don't even have a job yet.

You forgot your apostrophe! LOL

Certification cannot be done by a school--the CMT designation can only be obtained from AHDI through testing after you've been an MT a couple of years.
The top 2 recognized schools cost about $3500, give or take. I think the Andrews School website mentions that 1st year salaries are in the 20k range...they are also a good site to check out, www.andrewsschool.com

Good Luck to anyone considering this field!

Forgot to say I work about 5 hours a day.
I have many years of experience. If you are a newbie, and it sounds like you are, then you are going to turn out fewer reports and it will take you longer to proof than it will someone else with more experience. Most companies require you to be able to produce 150 lph, though often radiology is paid per report and I don't know what requirements are for that.

(I forgot, after Properties, click Appearance, then Advanced.) nm
