At MTS, all of our Diagnostic Healthcare Career Training programs are all-inclusive, meaning you get everything you need in order to begin your new career as an X-ray Tech, Medical Assistant, or Ultrasound/Vascular Tech, under one program & one tuition!

Here are a list of some of the basics that our all-inclusive programs provide (we'll dive in deeper in the tabs below):

• All Your Prerequisites: Our programs start you with a solid foundation and build from there. This means you can begin any of our programs with no prior Healthcare experience and be out in the field in as little as 12 to 18 months, depending on the program you choose!
• Clinical Internship: No need to find your own -- we've got you covered! We place our students in a clinical internship at the end of their training, so that you can get real-world experience in the field! Not only does it take the load off of the student's shoulders, but it also makes you more attractive to Diagnostic Healthcare employers straight out of the gate!
• Job Placement Assistance & Career Help: While job placement isn't guaranteed and will depend on many factors, we do provide our students with all the necessary tools and assistance for securing employment after their training. Not only do we provide job placement assistance, but we also offer Career Help, including help with resumes & cover letters, conducting practice interviews, writing the perfect follow-up emails, etc... all of which will be covered in-depth in the blue tabs below!
• Medical Assistant Cross-Training for X-ray Tech Students: Our X-ray Tech program is coupled with Medical Assisting Training, so that students are ready to meet the demands of CA Diagnostic Healthcare Employers, who are looking for a hybrid of XT & MA. We train for both under one 12-month program, and one tuition! No need to find two programs or pay extra; we also cover your internship for both!
• Textbooks & Scrubs: We know that these days, even small costs like purchasing all your own textbooks and paying out of pocket for your own scrubs can add up quickly! Therefore, we make it a point to include both textbooks, as well as scrubs to all of our students, so that they can focus on what matters most!
• The Cost of Your First Exam(s) Covered: Again, we never want to nickel & dime our students. As such, the cost of your first exam(s) for X-ray Tech / Medical Assistant and Ultrasound/Vascular Tech programs is covered!
• Zero Parking & Lab Fees: Those small costs at other schools & colleges really add-up, even when considering things like parking passes and your lab fees. We cover both for our students -- parking is free here at Modern Technology School, and you never have to worry about paying extra fees for your labs/equipment!
• Small Class Sizes: Small class sizes = more hands-on practice, more feedback, and more confidence. You’re never just a face in the crowd here at MTS. Small class sizes allow for more hands-on practice and personalized instruction. In a more intimate learning environment, every student has more one-on-one access to the instructor, more opportunities to practice positioning, and more chances to ask questions and receive immediate feedback. Instead of getting lost in a crowd, each student is seen, guided, and nurtured — which leads to stronger skills and greater confidence in the clinical setting.
• Hands-on Training: Hands-on training is where classroom knowledge truly comes to life. For both X-ray Tech/Medical Assistant and Ultrasound/Vascular Tech students, learning by doing is essential to building real confidence and adding to your professional skill-set. In a small-school environment, students get direct, one-on-one experience with equipment, procedures, and patient interaction—developing the muscle memory and clinical judgment they’ll rely on every day in the field. Working closely with instructors and peers in a supportive, focused setting helps bridge the gap between theory and real-world healthcare, ensuring graduates don’t just understand their roles, they’re ready to step into them with precision, care, and confidence!
• Tutoring: We've been doing this long enough to know that every student could use a little help with certain subject matter or their technique -- whether it's a concept they may not grasp, or something they may be missing while scanning or positioning patients in order to get the perfect image. Because of this, our instructors and small class sizes lend themselves to a create a perfect environment for tutoring and extra care when it comes to ensuring our students get the training they need to succeed out in the field!

Clinical internship is where everything you’ve learned in the classroom comes together. It gives you real-world experience working with patients, medical teams, and equipment in a professional setting—building confidence and skill before graduation. Best of all, at Modern Technology School, we arrange your clinical site for you, so you can focus on learning and gaining valuable hands-on experience!

While employment can’t be guaranteed and will depend on the student/candidate, our Career Services team works closely with every graduate to help them stand out in the job market. Many of our students are offered positions through their clinical internships, and our Career Services Coordinator is here to guide you every step of the way — from crafting strong resumes and cover letters to practicing interviews, writing thank-you cards, and following up with employers.

We’re committed to helping you present yourself confidently and professionally as you begin your new career in Diagnostic Healthcare! Reach out to us today to learn more -- you can also meet our Career Services team when you take your free tour!

We focus on hands-on training, all-inclusive programs, small class sizes, and real-world experience. Our programs are streamlined, and include everything you need in order to get you career-ready fast, with personal attention every step of the way!

Small class sizes mean more individual attention, hands-on practice, and direct feedback from instructors. You’ll never feel lost in the crowd; you’ll always have support when you need it most, and from instructors who care about your future! You can also ask questions during class or lab, and have those answers demonstrated for you -- hands-on -- so that you truly grasp the concept/technique and reasoning!

Hands-on training bridges the gap between theory and practice. You’ll work directly with real equipment, patients, and scenarios, so by the time you graduate, you’ll be confident and job-ready!

Absolutely! Our all-inclusive programs are designed for beginners and we include our prerequisites,  teaching everything from the ground up, with no prior experience required.

You’ll complete an included clinical internship, gain real patient experience, and work under professionals in the field. This training builds confidence and connects you with potential employers.

Each of our programs include real-world clinical experience: our students receive over 1,000 hours for Ultrasound/Vascular Techs and structured internships for X-ray/MA students, so you graduate with real experience, not just theory.

Yes! Our programs are all-inclusive... this means that your books, scrubs, lab supplies, parking, internship, medical assistant cross-training (for X-ray Techs), and cost of your first exam(s) are built right into your tuition, so there are no hidden costs.

We offer job placement assistance, resume and interview help, and strong relationships with Healthcare employers throughout Southern California.

In California, Diagnostic Healthcare employers look for cross-trained professionals who can handle both front and back-office duties. Our program prepares you to perform both, adding to your skill-set, making you more valuable in the job market and providing you with a solid foundation for your future in Diagnostic Healthcare.

You can complete your entire education in as little as 18 months for our Ultrasound/Vascular Technology program, and in as little as 12 months for our Daytime X-ray/MA program, so you can start your new career fast!

Our instructors are seasoned professionals with years (often decades) of real-world experience in Diagnostic Healthcare. They bring practical knowledge, insight, and mentorship to every class. You can learn more about our team at Modern Technology School at this link.

Our programs blend classroom learning with labs, hands-on training, and clinical experience. You’ll graduate understanding both the theory and practice both behind patient care as well as diagnostic imaging.

While it may differ in other states, California Diagnostic Healthcare employers value flexibility and are looking for a hybrid of X-ray Tech and Medical Assistant. An X-ray Tech graduate who cross-trained as a Medical Assistant who can take vitals, perform patient prep, and conduct imaging is more efficient, reliable, and ready to work in multiple roles.

Yes, financial aid is available to those who qualify, and our dedicated staff can help you find out if you do! We also offer job placement assistance to help you start your career off on the right foot!

Smaller schools offer a more personal touch. We provide our students with focused attention, faster feedback, and real relationships with instructors and staff. You’ll never be just a number here!

Our instructors and staff are always here for you. With small class sizes, it’s easy to get one-on-one help whenever you need it -- whether it’s reviewing material, practicing positioning, or building confidence before a lab, we've got you covered!

Hands-on training begins early! Students transition from classroom learning into labs and simulations quickly, so you start building real skills within your first few weeks.

Every day blends learning, labs, and teamwork. You’ll study anatomy, professional patient care, and technique, then apply what you’ve learned in hands-on sessions with real equipment.

We’ve proudly trained Diagnostic Healthcare professionals in California for decades (since 1981), helping thousands of students start meaningful, lasting careers in Patient Care and Diagnostic Imaging.

Our instructors bring decades of real-world experience to the classroom. They’ve worked in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, and have even served on the ARRT Exam Writing Committee in the past (to name a few). Plus, they’re passionate about helping students grow from day one, and some are still working in the field!

Our programs are structured for real life. With focused schedules and supportive staff, we help students balance school, work, and family commitments while pursuing a new career. We also offer an Evening X-ray Tech / Medical Assistant program which can help students with daytime responsibilities achieve their dreams of working in Diagnostic Healthcare.

You’ll train with the same professional equipment used in clinics and imaging centers across California, including digital X-ray systems, positioning tools, and both modern and classic ultrasound machines (as you never know what they’ll be using once it gets busy at your workplace)!

Yes! All our programs are approved to meet the standards required to train and prepare students for success in California’s Diagnostic Healthcare field. Modern Technology School is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges – ACCSC, the same Governing Body that is recognized by the US Dept. of Education as the designated accrediting body for over 650 post-secondary, trade & technical schools that provide education to over 150,000 students in a wide variety of vocational programs each year.

We are also licensed to operate as a private post-secondary institution in the State of California through the Bureau for Private Post-secondary Education (BPPE)... and we've been here in Orange County since 1981, so we're not a fly-by-night school.

We handle the back-end for you so that you can move seamlessly through the program and put your energy into your training and success!

Most healthcare employers in California prefer candidates who can perform both front and back-office tasks. Being trained in both makes you more versatile and more employable. Our Medical Assistant cross-training also provides students with a solid foundation in medical terminology, taking patient vitals, CPR/BLS, as well as professional patient care.

You’ll graduate with strong technical skills, clinical confidence, and the ability to work professionally with patients and medical teams in a real Diagnostic Healthcare setting.

We continually update our curriculum to match industry standards, ensuring students learn modern techniques, patient care, as well as the technology used in today’s clinical settings.

While we don't offer part-time programs, we do offer Evening X-ray Tech / Medical Assistant programs in order to help students who have daytime obligations. Our All-Inclusive program availability can vary, so please contact our friendly Admissions team at 714-418-9100 or fill out the green contact form on this page for the latest schedule options and to see which one fits your lifestyle best.

At a smaller school, you’re never just a number. You’ll know your instructors and classmates personally, and you’ll get the kind of individual attention and hands-on training that big schools can’t always offer. Moreover, you can ask questions and have those answers demonstrated for you, hands-on, by an instructor who cares about your future in Diagnostic Healthcare!

Our programs are designed for smooth transitions between classroom learning, labs, and clinical rotations. You’ll get plenty of structure, support, and scheduling guidance along the way. We've been doing this since 1981, and have developed a curriculum that works for our students -- we can also discuss this more in-depth during your free tour!

Many of our students transition into entry-level positions soon after completing their program and clinical requirements. Some also gain employment at their internships. Our helpful Job Placement Assistance team helps you take that next step.

Employers consistently praise our graduates for being professional, well-trained, and ready to work on day one, with strong patient care skills and confidence in their technical abilities. During your free tour, we can introduce you to our Job Placement Assistance team and they can discuss your goals as well as answer your questions.

You’re not alone! Many of our students are changing paths or returning to school after years away. We provide encouragement, structure, and plenty of support to help you succeed! Remember, our programs are all-inclusive, meaning you get all the building blocks for your future under one program, and one tuition. We handle the basics, so that you can focus on your education and make genuine connections with our friendly instructors and grow alongside your classmates.

We teach professionalism through real-world practice—by modeling patient interactions, communication, and compassion in every class, lab, and clinical experience. Check out our Instagram Feed and watch some videos to learn more about what we cover in our day-to-day training!
