You need to go to school for radiography tech for 2 years and sit and pass the ARRT certifying exam. Then within a few months you can certify to be an MRI tech. It is called a post primary modality

Sure, you should consider attending a community college. It's a two-year program, and after that, you'll be ready to start earning! When you decide to go to community college, try to apply to those that concentrate on MRI studies, as it's a separate profession.

There is more than one path to becoming a MRI technologist, but the first step is the same. You must complete a two year radiologic technologist program and obtain your ARRT RT(R) certification.
To obtain your MRI technologist certification you must complete specific education hours and competencies in the clinical setting specifically in MRI.
Here is the link to the MRI path from ARRT: https://www.arrt.org/pages/earn-arrt-credentials/credential-options/mri
You can also search JRCERT approved programs for MRI at this link:

If you are fortunate enough to obtain a job within a clinic or hospital willing to train you clinically for MRI, then I suggest obtaining your education hours through more cost effective approved courses. One most technologists use is at the following link:
