At first, informal learning was only delimited from formal school learning and nonformal learning in courses (Coombs /Achmed 1974). Marsick and Watkins take up this approach and go one step further in their definition. They, too, begin with the organizational form of learning and call those learning processes informal which are non-formal or not formally organized and are not financed by institutions (Watkins /Marsick, p. 12 et sec.).
There are training and certificate programs for radiology techs that take around a year, as well as associateâs and bachelorâs degrees that take anywhere from two to four years. The best credentials are a combination of formal training, a professional license, and work experience.
According to a 2010 survey salary conducted by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the average salary of radiographers at all levels of education was $53,953 per year. Those with a Bachelor of Science degree in radiologic technology reported an average annual salary that was just slightly higher at $55,063.
