How much does it cost to attend the MRI in Practice Course?
As a general guide, all pricing is based on the cost of the UK course:
UK (GMT/BST) - £750 GBP
USA (CST) - $980 USD
AUSTRALASIA (AEDT) - A$1,400 AUD
Adjusting for inflation, our course is about half the price it was in the year 2000 - yet contains TEN additional lectures. It has never been better value.
The base price of the course is always as shown above. Where applicable, additional options (such as access to the Handbook of MRI Technique Course or splitting attendance between two courses) incur an admin fee. This fee covers additional administration required and also additional fees that we are obliged to pay to cover the increased hours of copyright protection on the lecture video. We can no longer afford to shoulder these additional fees ourselves.
Non-EU payments may be slightly more than the UK fee because of increased credit card transaction fees imposed following Brexit and the increased cost of Digital Rights Management. Exchange rates will also have an effect on price because the course fee is reviewed annually and does not take exchange-rate fluctuations into account. Discounts and sponsorship may also affect pricing.
Please visit the relevant page for current pricing for each course.

I would like to organise a course with you
We are happy to collaborate with local organisers in any country, please send an email to ObscureMyEmail and we will get back to you with our terms.
Is the Handbook of MRI Technique Course available in the UK, USA and Australia?
Yes, it is bundled together with the MRI in Practice Online Course. It is not available as a stand-alone course.
NHS Procurement, Preferred Suppliers, Purchase Orders and Shared Business Services (SBS)
If you require more information to set up a purchase order or for Shared Business Services, please contact us at courseemail and let us know what documents you require.
Are any of your courses open to people living in Russia?
No, our courses are no longer available to people living in Russia or Belarus or any other country supporting the invasion of Ukraine.
Do you still offer live, face-to-face (F2F) courses?
We no longer offer any face to face teaching. This is for several reasons:
1. Course feedback shows that participants much prefer the convenience and general vibe of online courses.
2. We can include more content than in a live course delivery by including streaming on-demand lectures. This offers amazing value.
3. Streaming lectures can be rewound, reviewed and revised, live lectures cannot.
4. It halves the cost for participants because they do not have to pay for travel, accommodation and food.
5. It removes a substantial financial risk for the organisers (hotel and conference venues charge the full delegate day-rate in advance - payable even if participant numbers are less than expected).
6. It makes the course COVID-proof.
How do I enrol on the Handbook of MRI Technique course?
You simply enrol on the MRI in Practice Online Course and the Handbook course is included for a small additional admin fee (£50). In countries where the MRI in Practice course is not currently offered, the Handbook course was formerly available on a lecture-by-lecture basis.
This service was abused, is now discontinued and will no longer be offered.
Radiation Oncologists and Radiation Therapists
We welcome radiation oncologists and radiation therapists and have been a preferred education provider for both Elekta and Philips Medical Systems who manufacture MRI Linac machines.
CPD Certificates
Participants attending the online course will receive a certificate.
Participants who have been seen to attend (watch) the full course will receive a CPD certificate. Participants who have not been seen to have watched the full course will receive a certificate of attendance. The lecture server keeps a track of content accessed which allows us to confirm attendance if required by a professional body.
The CPD offered depends on which course has been attended:
In the UK, the course is endorsed by the Society and College of Radiographers CPD Now. This is offered on a whole-course basis (i.e. not by the hour). Participants attending the UK course (i.e. online courses delivered to GMT/BST) will be eligible for this CPD certificate. It identifies the learning outcomes achieved, it does not provide any indication of activity hours, because this is irrelevant for CPD Now endorsement. Participants who live in Australia, but attend the UK course may be eligible for an ASMIRT CPD certificate (see below). Participants who are not from the UK or Australia and fall under different CPD regulations will still receive a CPD certificate, but it may not be recognised by their local professional body.
In Australia, the course is endorsed by the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT). This accreditation is offered on an hourly basis (30 hours). Participants attending the Australian course (i.e. online courses delivered to AEDT) will be eligible for this CPD certificate. The certificate lists the hours of activity as required. Participants who live in the UK, but attend the Australian course may be eligible for a CPD Now certificate (see above). Participants who are not from Australia or the UK and fall under different CPD regulations will still receive a CPD certificate, but it may not be recognised by their local professional body.
Participants from the USA are welcome to attend any of our courses, but we do not offer any CPD certification. This is largely due to the fact that most of our USA participants are veterinary radiologists and, therefore, do not fall under the same professional body as MRI Techs. In addition the cost and complexity of CPD approval in the USA is not worth our time and expense for the number of participants for whom the appellation applies.
Please note
We cannot offer certificates with any other CPD accreditation or any other wording than the ones awarded at the end of each course because we do not have approval from any other professional bodies.
Replacement/Additional Certificates
The course fee includes the provision of one certificate. This is delivered at the end of the course via the course programme page and is available for download until midnight. Sometimes delegates lose their certificates or fail to download them after the course has ended. On some rare occasions a delegate may qualify for two certificates (for example if they are based in one country but working in another).
In any of the above scenarios we can replace, or provide additional certificates for an admin fee of £20.00. Please email ObscureMyEmail to let us know your name and the date of the course attended, then make a payment from the link below. We will send your certificate within 5 working days of payment.
Veterinary Radiologists and Radiographers
We welcome veterinary radiologists and radiographers and have a long-standing track record of teaching MRI to these disciplines. We have been running the MRI in Practice course exclusively for veterinary radiologists and radiographers since 2017. These courses were originally presented in collaboration with veterinary MRI radiologist Amy Zalcman, formerly at the University of Missouri and now on-line. Feedback shows that veterinary practitioners find this course extremely beneficial. Our course is now the go-to MRI course for veterinary practitioners in the USA and the UK. We also attract a large number of veterinary practitioners on our annual Sydney course in Australia.
Who would benefit from this course? For whom is it intended?
Primarily, MRI in Practice is intended to be a continuing professional development (CPD) course for medical imaging practitioners working in the field (or intending to work in the field) of MRI. We welcome radiographers, technologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, radiation oncologists, veterinary practitioners, veterinary radiographers, physicists, researchers and any other discipline that needs to understand MRI.
Will this course (does this course) make me a qualified MRI practitioner (permit me to work as an MRI practitioner)
We receive quite a few emails asking if this course will make someone a fully qualified MRI practitioner. This is not the case. If you wish to practice medical imaging, you first need to take an undergraduate degree in that field. In the UK, for example, that would be a degree in diagnostic radiography. This course is primarily a continuing professional development course for those already qualified in medical imaging.

Who presents the course and what are their qualifications to be lecturing on such courses?
The course is always presented by Dr Catherine Westbrook EdD, MSc, DCR(R), PGc(LT), CT Cert, FHEA and Dr John Talbot EdD, MSc, DCR(R), PGc(LT), FHEA.
As professional academics, Cathy and John both hold Master of Science degrees in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and are both fully-qualified Doctors of Education. This is a key requirement when teaching post-graduates such as radiographers.
These qualifications are important because In addition to mastery of their subject, credible course presenters should be qualified in teaching and learning because that is their role. Anyone who claims to provide educational services (and charges money for those services) must be qualified in education. Educational fraud, including fake courses taught by non-qualified "lecturers" affects over 43 million people per year and costs the victims hundreds or thousands of pounds. Please do not fall for this type of scam.
Before applying for a course - simply ask the provider to give you:
the names of the people who will be presenting the course and
evidence of their qualifications in education (PGCLT or ideally EdD)
Note that this is not the same as their qualifications in radiography, or post graduate qualifications in medical imaging. For teaching radiographers and radiologists the qualification should be an EdD or equivalent. A PhD is not an educational qualification per se., but may be acceptable. Don't be fobbed off with vague statements such as "experts in their field" or "wealth of clinical experience" those statements apply to all radiographers who have been working for a while. What you deserve is a qualified lecturer.
Cathy and John are also both Fellows of the Higher Education Academy. The HEA vision is for students in UK higher education to enjoy the highest quality learning experience in the world and we bring that philosophy to everything we do - including MRI in Practice - The Course.
We are not aware of any other MRI course of this type that is presented by a faculty who are all qualified in both MRI and Education at this level. Please consider this when choosing which MRI course is likely to address your needs. If a course provider is not qualified to teach, it is ethically questionable as to whether they should be selling educational services. Some commercial MRI courses are delivered by speakers who are not qualified in either MRI or Education!
International Availability of MRI in Practice Online Courses
The online course uses geo targeting technology and is currently offered to cover the above time zones. UK courses run to GMT/BST but may be attended by participants living in countries from the blue-shaded area above. Australasian courses run to AEDT but are available to some of the countries covered by the pink zone. Participants living in Perth may prefer the timing offered by the GMT course. Participants can attend from any of the countries listed in the tabs below. Please note that the course is delivered synchronously and there will, therefore, be a time offset to the programme if you are not resident in one of the specific time zones stated above. For example for participants in North America, the course runs in the evening. Please note that the course is not offered in every country because the DRM copy-protection for the lectures is not universally compatible and we have banned access to countries where there have been attempts to steal our intellectual copyright in the past.
Terms and Conditions
1.0 The Course
1.1 The Course Organisers
The MRI in Practice course is presented exclusively on-line. The presenters are Dr. Catherine Westbrook and Dr. John Talbot (hereafter identified as the presenters).
The presenters are sole traders offering private tuition. We are not a registered company. The course is classed as private tuition and is delivered via Zoom meeting and incorporates teaching materials in the form of streaming-video lectures. All enquiries should be directed to ObscureMyEmail.
In some cases the presenters are contracted to deliver the course by a third-party course organiser who administers the course. In some cases the organiser may be a registered company involved in health, education or both.
All requests for information relating to the administration of such courses, including payments, refunds etc should be directed to the course organiser.
1.2 Course Content
The course materials are updated constantly, to keep pace with changes within the field of MRI and to take advantage of the latest presentation technology and as such the course content may vary over time. The programme provided on this web site and in our promotional materials is for guidance only and we reserve the right to alter the timing and running order of the lectures to meet the requirements of the individual organiser and the venue.
1.3 Course Attendance
MRI In Practice is only offered on a whole-course basis, as a 4-day event. Participants only wishing to attend for particular days are welcome to do so, however, the price is the same as the 4-day event and no CPD certificate can be awarded unless the participant has been seen to attend the whole course and watch all the lectures. Participants who are taken ill during the course and who are unable to attend sessions may be offered an opportunity to attend the following course. There are no alternatives offered, lectures are not made available for private viewing or on-demand. They are only available to watch whilst the course is in progress.
For the UK/Europe course (Greenwich Mean Time or British Summer Time), participants can choose to split their attendance across two consecutive courses. This flexible approach may help to facilitate study leave, and also will allow people who are very new to the field, to put the basic principles into practice before attending the second two days. This option is offered under the following firm conditions:
The full course fee is paid up front at the time of registration.
The days must be attended in the correct order.
The person registering and attending days 01 and 02 must be the same person attending days 03 and 04. Attendance may not be shared between a number of people.
Both courses must be UK/Europe deliveries.
If the participant is unable to attend days 03 and 04, for any reason, the remainder of the course fee is forfeited. No refunds are available and no substitutions may be made, there is no option to switch dates to a further course delivery.
A CPD certificate is awarded only after having attended all four days.
1.4 Intellectual Property and Copyright Issues
The names MRI in Practice, and MRI in Practice / The Course are copyright 1992-present date Blackwell Science (Wiley Books) & Dr. Catherine Westbrook.
All text and graphics in this web site and in the course materials are copyright (2009-present date) Blackwell Science (Wiley Books) and Dr. John Talbot.
Photography, digital downloading, audio recording, screen-grabbing and video recording of the course content is strictly prohibited including (but not limited to) the use of mobile phones, iPods, iPads, tablet PCs, voice recorders, digital cameras and any type of computer. The presenters reserve the right to disable access to participants in the event that any of these activities are reported by the video server.
1.5 On-line course protection against copyright theft
The online course uses geo-location software and digital fingerprinting that can be detected in the event that a video is recorded by any means. Your attendance on the course implies consent to our use of such software and the placing of cookies on your computer. This content may be used as evidence to explicitly identify the person who captured the recording by date time and location. If such content gets into the public domain we always take legal action against the person responsible. Please do not attempt to record or share on-line content. Offenders will be prosecuted.
This includes screening the lectures to any third party. The on-line lectures are for individual rental as part of the course fee. Public screening, or screening in an institution such as a school, hospital or university may constitute a civil or criminal offence. Accessing the lectures from a hospital, educational establishment, commercial premises or public space is prohibited. There are no exceptions made to this rule. In such cases legal action will be taken against the institution in question and they will be banned from accessing any further courses.
CPD Certificates
Participants attending the online course will receive a certificate.
Participants who have been seen to attend (watch) the full course will receive a CPD certificate. Participants who have not seen to have attended the full course will receive a certificate of attendance. The lecture server keeps a track of content accessed.
The CPD offered depends on which course has been attended:
In the UK, the course is endorsed by the Society and College of Radiographers CPD Now. This is offered on a whole-course basis (i.e. not by the hour). Participants attending the UK course (i.e. online courses delivered to GMT/BST) will be eligible for this CPD certificate. It identifies the learning outcomes achieved, it does not provide any indication of activity hours, because this is irrelevant for CPD Now endorsement. Participants who live in Australia, but attend the UK course may be eligible for an ASMIRT CPD certificate (see below). Participants who are not from the UK or Australia and fall under different CPD regulations will still receive a CPD certificate, but it may not be recognised by their local professional body.
In Australia, the course is endorsed by the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT). This accreditation is offered on an hourly basis (30 hours). Participants attending the Australian course (i.e. online courses delivered to AEDT) will be eligible for this CPD certificate. The certificate lists the hours of activity as required. Participants who live in the UK, but attend the Australian course may be eligible for a CPD Now certificate (see above). Participants who are not from Australia or the UK and fall under different CPD regulations will still receive a CPD certificate, but it may not be recognised by their professional body.
Participants from the USA are welcome to attend any of our courses, but we do not offer any CPD certification. This is largely due to the fact that most of our USA participants are veterinary radiologists and, therefore, do not fall under the same professional body as MRI Techs. In addition the cost and complexity of CPD approval in the USA is not worth our time and trouble for the number of participants for whom the appellation applies.
Please note
We cannot offer certificates with any other CPD accreditation or any other wording than the ones awarded at the end of each course because we do not have approval from any other professional bodies.
2.0 Fees and Payments
2.1 Course Pricing
Course pricing may vary by country and in some cases may be determined by third party organisers (as defined in section 1.1).
For courses administered by the presenters the fee will reflect the duration of the course, course content included, discounts applied (for example trial periods) the hours over which the course is presented (for example when presented at night time GMT) the cost of digital rights management, international exchange rates, conversion fees, and credit card fees applied. For this reason, additional options such as splitting the course, or including the Handbook of MRI Technique course attract a small admin fee.
2.2 Payments
For your peace of mind, all payments processed directly from www.mrieducation.com are arranged through Stripe. Stripe provide a secure, fraud-protected, banking infrastructure for on-line payments. Stripe payments may not be available from your international location.
2.3 Refunds
There are no refunds offered under any circumstances for any of our courses.
DO NOT APPLY OR PAY FOR A COURSE UNLESS YOUR HOME ADDRESS IS IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE COURSE IS AVAILABLE. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE MATERIALS AND YOU WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED. PLEASE SEE THE LIST AT THE TOP OF THE APPLICATION FORM TO CHECK AVAILABILITY.
For all other courses, please contact the course organiser for details. If a course is postponed for any reason, you will be offered a place on the rescheduled course.

Redesigned for the modern world...
The world's longest running MRI course has had a major re-design.
The course is now exclusively online available to the whole of Europe, The USA, Canada and Australasia. It features 15 brand-new streaming lectures presented over 4 days, plus 10 additional on-demand lectures, available for the following 12 months completely FREE of charge.
A new edition, a new addition...
Exclusively on-line and on-demand. Ten brand-new lectures covering the fundamentals of MRI - plus clinical technique for all of the commonly requested examinations in MRI. This course is essential viewing for anyone considering a career in MRI.
Everything you need at one low price...
Everything you need at one low price...
With the ever-rising cost of living and tight squeezes on training budgets, we strive to offer you the very highest quality MRI training and CPD fulfilment for a sensible, affordable, all-inclusive fee. At £750 GBP ($980 USD, A$1,400 AUD) our course price is the the most competitive it has ever been (adusting for inflation the course is now less than half the price it was in the year 2000). Other providers charge high prices (per hour of taught content) seem to increase their prices every year and may even charge you numerous times for separate courses covering basics, advanced and clinical MRI. With our comprehensive programme you don't have to choose. When participants register on the MRI in Practice course, it includes all of the basics (including safety) plus the advanced topics and the clinical technique. If study leave is tight, or participants are very new to MRI, these sessions can be attended over two separate course deliveries if preferred. This allows participants to get a grasp of the basics and put them into practice before starting on the advanced subects.
That's not all, for a small admin fee - the entire Handbook of MRI Technique course is thrown in as well. Two courses for less than you would expect to pay for a single course!
After participants have enjoyed the 4-day MRI in Practice course, they receive credits to watch the entire Handbook of MRI Technique course on-demand, whenever it suits them. The first five lectures of the Handbook course are designed to form the perfect revision for the topics covered by the MRI in Practice course. Participants tell us that they really help to cement some of the concepts into place. The other five lectures are absolutely indispensable for those who are new to the field and wish to get up to speed with clinical practice in MRI. The course covers all of the most commonly-scanned body areas.
The admin fee is required because we have to pay for copyright protection per lecture viewed. The base course price is the same.
In summary, participants will enjoy:
- 4 days online teaching via Zoom
- 12 live teaching/QA sessions with the world-renowned MRI educators Dr. Catherine Westbrook and Dr. John Talbot
- 25 streaming lectures featuring our famous computer generated imagery, namely…
- 15 MRI in Practice lectures (20 hours)
- 10 Lectures from the Handbook of MRI course (6 hours of revision videos and clinical technique instruction).
All at a price that beats any of our competitors. In addition, the course is a valuable source of CPD:
- UK - Society and College of Radiographers fulfilling learning outcomes 1,2,3,6,7,9,11,19 as defined by CPD Now.
- Australia - ASMIRT - offers 30 HOURS of CPD appellation
...and the highest quality.
If you are a manager or practice education lead, the price is important, but you will also be looking for the highest quality educational experience for your staff. The quality of this course is assured:
- We are not only endorsed by the Society and College of Radiographers, but also by over 20 international professional bodies and educational establishments.
- We are a go-to MRI education provider for the NHS and several of the largest private medical companies.
- Our courses have been used to enhance the MRI curriculum in university programmes in Chicago, Cambridge, Oxford, Dublin, Columbia (Missouri), Qatar, Sharjah, and Zagreb.
- The course has also been adopted by professional bodies in Australia, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Kuwait, Malta, Romania, Kenya and Serbia.
- The presenters, Dr Catherine Westbrook and Dr John Talbot are both industry-recognised experts in online learning (since 2005) both hold Master of Science Degrees in MRI, are both qualified in Education to Doctoral level and are both Fellows of the Higher Education Academy.
We are not aware of any other MRI courses having a faculty qualified to this level. Please take care when deciding on a course provider, fraudulent or fake education is becoming an increasing concern in pedagogical circles. If you are in any doubt about an education provider not having the necessary qualifications to be providing educational services, ask to see the learning and teaching certification for all members of their faculty. This must at least be a PgC in Learning and Teaching, and for teaching post graduates (such as radiographers) it should be an EdD or equivalent.
Our course currently enjoys an average customer excellence rating of 95% from all of our 164 participants over the last 12 months. These statistics are collected anonymously at the end of every course via Mentimeter.

MRI in Practice Online
A little taster of what we offer on our online course...
The online course uses a combination of HD streaming video to present our trademark CGI graphics and user-friendly analogies that give our course an unsurpassed conceptual clarity that our participants really love. Our lectures use computer-generated imagery produced in-house and are the result of 13 years development and over 1000 CGI models and animations.
Some online course providers present their lectures directly from Zoom or by screen-sharing their own computer - this tends to result in a sub-optimal, jerky, low-resolution presentation with occasional dropouts due to loss of internet connection by the host and having to share bandwidth between a number of participants.
We don't do this, as teaching experts with over 30 years of experience in distance learning and blended learning (and, with formal academic qualifications in technology-enhanced learning) we use a blend of live face-to-face live sessions in Zoom and streaming HD video that is delivered via a professional broadcast server (AWS) to ensure the very highest quality and uninterrupted service , here is an example of what you can expect from our lectures…
