Before you start your diploma, you should:
* Check the licensing requirements in your country/region: Contact the relevant professional regulatory body for radiographers in your area. Their website will have the exact educational and licensing requirements needed to practice.
* Investigate career paths with a diploma: While a diploma might not qualify you for all radiography jobs, it could still open doors to certain roles, perhaps as a radiography assistant or in a support role within a radiology department. Understanding these options is crucial.
In short, a 2-year diploma might be a stepping stone, but it's unlikely to be sufficient for independent practice as a radiographer in most places. You need to verify the specific regulations where you plan to work.
