Curriculum Endorsements & Certifications

In addition to offering certifications through IMRTC USA, educational and professional training institutions seeking international recognition for their own curricula and certifications may apply for endorsement by the IMRTC Curricula Committee.

To initiate the endorsement process, institutions must submit a comprehensive program design that includes the following:

Title Page containing:

  • Name of the institution
  • Program title and certification level
  • Date of submission
  • Catalog URL (if available)
  • Applicable regulation number (if the program is governed by specific regulations)

All submissions will be reviewed by the IMRTC Curricula Committee to assess alignment with international standards and quality benchmarks. Upon approval, endorsed programs will receive formal recognition and may utilize the IMRTC endorsement mark in their official materials.
