Many swear by Andrews, M-Tec, and Careerstep, though with the first two you are pretty much guaranteed a job upon graduation. I did CAI which many look down on but it is still a huge step above ATP and that other company that is similar, forget its name. I found a job in 6-weeks after graduating though that was 7 years ago. If that is the course you are taking be prepared for the brush off, many won't even let you test depending on what school you "attended".

I looked into it
You will get paid minimum waige for about three months, and then you will go up from there. I would definitely try it if you are a new grad and haven't found a job yet. It will atleast get your foot in the door.
Just briefly looked at it...
but looks like flashcardexchange.com has some medical terms.
I looked at about 500 resumes
I looked at about 500 resumes from MTs we've employed lately. Just a small number come from M-Tec, Andrews or Career Step- about a half dozen. I didn't do anything scientific. I was just curious.
There seems to be an impression that these 3 schools are the only way to get educated in this field and get a job.
Our records don't bear this out. Most of our MTs come from Community Colleges (I call them Junior Colleges) and have a 2 yr degree. Our MTs come from all over the country too. From what I've seen, their curriculum is heavily slanted toward HPI which is an old stand by.
So that info is for all the graduates from other schools who may be fearful because of what is written here. AND again, I'll say that we don't hire any newbies without a short internship, but we pay well so we can be picky.
For what it is worth.........
Looked it up on the old internet......
Yep! It's a term.
If it was a specific question where it can be looked up, but it is a S/L.
Why is their a Word Help Board if it is cheating to use it? The dictation test is hard. Any word that I would be given under the word board as S/L I do go back in and research to make sure that it is the correct word. But there are times when you cannot get the spelling close enough to find it and you have been researching for hours. Wouldn't QA get just as upset with always getting blanks because you are afraid to ask someone else. If I was in-house wouldn't I be able to ask someone to listen and find the answer also? But life is easier now that my Stedman's has finally come in. Newbies tend to not have all the resources they need when they first start.
FYI usually open-book tests within the public schools have a specific answer they are looking for and they have been covering that very specific information for a week or two.
At the college level open-book usually are take home tests. If you think for one minute that the members of that class are not having a "study session" that night with the test in hand, think again.
JMO and from what I have seen in the schools.
