Tesla MRI was a way into the medical field I never would've thought possible. I started as a patient transporter and heard about this program from an MRI tech. They really listen and try to teach you. I would tell future students to believe in yourself.

Questions, answered
What working applicants ask us most.
Clear answers about the schedule, clinicals, credentials, and what it
really takes to finish.
Yes, and most students do. Phase 1 runs about 5 hours per week of online study and Phase 2 about 10 hours per week, both self-paced. Phase 3 is clinical training at an imaging site and is the real commitment at roughly 20+ hours per week, closer to a part-time job. Students commonly arrange those hours around existing shifts.
Do I need to be an X-ray tech first?
No. Traditional routes ask you to earn a radiography degree and ARRT credential before you can specialize in MRI. Tesla MR Institute trains directly toward ARMRIT certification, so you enter from wherever you are now.
What if I already work at an imaging facility?
That is the strongest position to apply from. If your employer can host your clinical hours, you skip the hardest logistics in the whole program. Tell us about your site on the form and our clinical team will confirm whether it qualifies.
What if I do not have a site?
Most applicants do not. Tesla MR Institute has 334+ clinical partner sites across 38 states and works to place students within reasonable driving distance. Placement depends on current capacity in your area, which our admissions team reviews with you directly.
How long does the whole program take?
Typically 12 to 18 months. ARMRIT requires a minimum of 12 months of training, so no accredited route is shorter than that.
What credential do I finish with?
After completing the program and passing the registry exam you are a Registered MRI Technologist through ARMRIT, a credential recognized in all 50 states.
