I am 48 years old and looking for something new. I saw an add in a magazine about medical transcription. How much schooling does one have to have to get the certificate, and how difficult is the course?

Information for Making Medical Transcription Your Career!
- Who am I?
Hi everyone and welcome to my site!
My name is Kate Delaney and I'm from Illinois. I created this site to share my story about how I made a mid-life career change that changed my life.
I went from being a high school graduate with a series of low paying jobs, and even some time on unemployment, to becoming a professional with a stable and well-paying career.
I found the training, financial aid, and even job placement help all online. Now, I don't have a job; I have a career! I'm a Medical Transcriptionist and I love it! Read my story.
Check out the company that made my dreams come true.

There is one here close by which is about a year long. They tend to be expensive (at least in my opinion). Have you had any previous medical classes/termionology etc? That would be helpful. It’s a little tough learning the new "language" of medicine but very interesting. I have done it for 10 years. If you want to ask me any questions, just email me. !!
Most programs take about 2 years. Be wary of "certificate" vs. "certification". Big difference.
There is an online guide to choosing a course of study on the website below. No affiliation with any school, just good info.
By taking four months online course, you can get certificate. In medical transcription, not much value for certificate without quality. You have to give good quality. You can visit http://www.andhrascribe.com/ for online medical transcription course and join below group to interact with their students.
