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.
Time Frame. Becoming a radiologist requires four years at the undergraduate level, two years in medical school classrooms and labs and two more in rotation in a hospital. A five-year residence in radiology is also required. Overall, it takes about 13 years of training to become a radiologist. While 13 years may seem like an enormous commitment to make, the benefits are worth the effort. First, radiology pays well. On average, radiologists earn around $350,000 per year.
