CT Tech Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a ct tech in California?

To work as a ct tech in California, you must hold a valid Radiologic Technology certificate issued by the California Department of Public Health, which requires completing an accredited radiologic technology program and passing the ARRT examination in Radiography. After obtaining your California certification, most employers expect you to earn the ARRT advanced credential in Computed Tomography. California does not issue a separate CT-specific state license, so the combination of your state radiologic technology certificate and ARRT CT credential is the standard path.

How much do CT teches make in California?

CT teches in California earn a median of about $121,260 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,210 for the lowest 10% to over $165,460 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire ct techs in California?

Employers hiring ct techs in California right now include White Glove Placement, Scripps Health, and Healthforce, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers drive the majority of full-time openings, and per-diem and travel positions through imaging staffing agencies are also widely posted across the state.

Which California cities have the most ct tech jobs?

San Diego, Los Angeles, and Lodi have the most ct tech openings in California. Los Angeles and the surrounding metro generate the highest volume because of its dense concentration of large hospital systems, trauma centers, and freestanding imaging chains, while San Francisco and San Diego benefit from major academic medical centers and established regional health networks anchoring steady demand in those markets.

Are there remote ct tech jobs in California?

Yes, but they're rare. CT technology is a hands-on clinical role that requires operating imaging equipment in person, so the vast majority of positions are on-site. About 0% of ct tech openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those exceptions are typically limited to teleradiology support, quality assurance review, or imaging informatics roles rather than direct patient scanning.

How can I get hired as a ct tech in California with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for CT trainee or CT tech new-graduate positions at large California hospital systems like Kaiser Permanente and Dignity Health, both of which run structured on-the-job training programs for radiographers who are cross-training into CT. Candidates holding their California CDPH radiologic technology certificate and an active ARRT Radiography credential are eligible for these roles even without dedicated CT hours. Lateral moves from general radiography, fluoroscopy, or portable X-ray positions within the same system are the most common way to get time on the scanner and earn the ARRT CT credential.
