Preparation for the knowledge test for international MTR
Knowledge test for medical technologists for radiology MTR
The MT-R knowledge test consists of a practical and an oral exam.
This exam takes place on the device and on the patient. This means, for example, performing radiation treatments, positioning patients, explaining the procedure to patients, and more.
MyGermanWay's preparation course is specifically designed to prepare international MT-Rs for the German knowledge test in radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, and dosimetry.
The program spans 19 weeks of theory and practice and includes various phases and methods to ensure optimal preparation.

The most important questions for the knowledge test for MT-R
Here you will find important questions
When does the next preparation for the knowledge test begin?
We offer the training three times a year. You can start in December, April, and August each year.
Can I participate from abroad?
No, the continuing education course can only be attended in Germany, even though it's online, because it's refinanced by the Federal Employment Agency.
We will support you if you already have a deficit assessment by creating a continuing education plan so you can get your visa.
How does MyGermanWay ensure high-quality preparation for the knowledge test?
MyGermanWay places great emphasis on structured and systematic preparation.
The course includes detailed online teaching modules, regular exam simulations, and practical learning phases. The content is up-to-date and specifically tailored to the requirements of the knowledge test.
Furthermore, the courses are limited to a maximum of 12 participants, allowing for individualized support for each participant.
What individual support does MyGermanWay offer during the preparation course
Individual Support: Each participant receives personalized support from experienced faculty and tutors. Regular feedback sessions and support for specific learning needs are available. Participants can ask questions at any time and receive tailored support.

What are the advantages of the practical learning phases in the MyGermanWay course
Practical relevance: The on-the-job training phases offer participants the opportunity to gain practical experience in a real radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and/or radiology department. Here, participants don't just observe; they actively participate.
Direct application of theoretical knowledge is required to ensure better preparation for the practical exam.
Close supervision during these phases ensures that participants can work specifically on their practical skills.
The practical hours are flexible and can be scheduled individually.
How does the knowledge test work?
Practical exam: The practical exam lasts approximately one hour and is conducted on the patient and the device. It assesses the participant's practical skills and applied knowledge.
Oral exam: Following the practical examination, the oral examination takes place on the same day. This includes questions on theoretical and practical aspects of the subject area.
How is the course financed and what financial support is available?
Funding by the Federal Employment Agency: The program can be funded by the Federal Employment Agency, allowing participants to complete the course without financial burden. Information on applying for funding and assistance with the formalities are also offered.
Who is taking the knowledge test?
Examination Board: The MTR knowledge test is usually administered by several examiners, including experienced instructors from a state-recognized MTR school. A company-based MTR specialist and sometimes even specialized medical specialists are also present to administer the practical and oral exams.
A representative of the relevant authority or chamber may also be present to ensure the proper conduct of the exam.
Fast, short routes
Advantages
- In short: The training lasts only 19 weeks, compared to a lengthy adaptation period, which can often last several months or even years. The shorter duration allows participants to enter the German job market more quickly.
- Focus: The training focuses specifically on exam-relevant topics, with regular exam simulations, which are important for successfully completing the knowledge test.
- There are no hourly internships, but rather on-the-job learning phases in which you work on equipment and with patients, without a set number of hours.
- Fast integration: The 19-week preparation for the knowledge test enables participants to integrate more quickly into the German job market. After successfully passing the exam, they receive a German certificate and can begin their careers as medical technologists in radiology in Germany.
Requirements
- Deficit Certificate: A valid deficit certificate must be submitted. This certifies that the participant's medical training can be recognized in Germany, but certain knowledge and skills are still missing for full recognition.
- Living in Germany.
- Completed training as a medical technologist (MTR): Participants must have completed three years of training as a medical technologist in radiology (MTR).
- Language Level B2: A German language level B2 is required to understand the preparatory courses and materials and to actively participate in the classes. This level demonstrates that participants have a good knowledge of everyday and specialized language.
- PC: Participants must have a computer or laptop to participate in the online courses.
