Testimonials

"I am so lucky to have attended RRCC rad tech program! Charlotte, the director of the program is absolutely amazing. She is a talented instructor, able to explain difficult concepts in a fun and interesting way. Teresa, the clinical coordinator was also great and always available if needed. Red Rocks has many clinic sites they work with which allows students to get a wide variety of experience. I was more than prepared for the registry and for employment upon completion of the program. Lastly, it is an extremely affordable associates degree, especially compared to other programs offered in the state. I tell anyone interested in x-ray to attend Red Rocks."

"I really enjoyed going through the rad program at RRCC. I felt the teachers really tried to help us feel supported, yet gain independence at the same time. The most important thing to me was being prepped for the ARRT.. which this rad program has a great reputation for helping their classes pass. I also met my best friends here, and will now always recommend people to go back to school because going back honestly changed my life for the better."

-Whitley Canady, RT(R)

I've been a Radiologic Technologist for over 40 years. I've worked in seven states in various facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics, orthopedic surgeons office, etc.). I've been very impressed by the knowledge shown by the Red Rocks Radiology students. They've shown a lot of confidence in the clinical setting. I recommend their program to anyone interested in Radiological Sciences.
