If your looking into Medical Transcription pay the extra in tuition to attend an ‘approved’ school. When I was researching school options, I called several MT employers. I spoke to their Human Resources departments and asked about getting started in the field. All of them recommended attending an AHDI approved program. Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job.
I attended Career Step and recieved a job (at-home) less than a week after graduating. I’ve received several more job offers since, but have stuck with my original employer. It can be a difficult job, but I love it!
There are many good schools that chose not to go for AHDI approval. MT Advantage is an excellent training choice. They have a 100% job placement rate and work w/ many MT employers to hire their graduates. Also, MT Advantage uses all 3 levels of the SUM CDs in their training. This is the gold standard for training MTs. Additionally, the program is well priced and the student support fantastic. Best wishes to you.
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.
