A Certificate in X Ray Technician course is a program that provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to operate X-ray machines and perform diagnostic imaging procedures. The course typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete and includes both theoretical and practical components.

During the course, students learn about the principles of radiology, patient care, and safety procedures. They also learn about the operation and maintenance of X-ray equipment, how to interpret diagnostic images, and how to perform basic procedures such as positioning patients and adjusting imaging parameters.

The practical component of the course includes hands-on training in operating and maintaining X-ray equipment, preparing patients for imaging, monitoring patients during imaging, and responding to emergencies. Students also learn how to perform basic patient care procedures and maintain accurate records.

Upon completion of the course, graduates can work as X-ray technicians in hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and other healthcare settings. They may also choose to further their education by pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in medical imaging or another related field.
