You must first become a Radiologic Technologist (x-ray tech.) That is a two year program usually taken at a community college and/or some higher level institutions (similar to the nursing program.) You will usually need at least an AA degree in general education before being accepted into the Rad Tech program. You will need at least 4 years of schooling to completely finish the program.

Once you are a technologist, the CT training is usually done on the job. Depending on the facility that you work for, you may be required to take additional courses in Cross Sectional Anatomy so that you further understand what it is that you are doing. Some facilities are more comfortable cross training in CT than others. You will usually need to be a tech for at least a year before you will have enough experience to comfortably be allowed into other modalities for training.
