ICS will NOT teach you enough to get a job. Don't be suckered in by the low price. nm

Price for M-TEC
Why don't you just give them a call and have all of your questions answered by them? Everyone there is very friendly, honest, and will take the time to explain things to you.
gotta wonder why it's 1/2 price

There are quite a few and range in price - sm,
Stedman's Smartype, Instant Text, Shorthand, and one or two others I think. I have used ShortHand and Smartype. I prefer the Smartype as it comes loaded with medical terms, etc., the Shorthand doesn't from what I remember. They run $90-$200 depending on which one you buy. I believe you can get free trials, so that would be the way to try them out and see which one you like the best. I have heard that IT is harder to learn and get used to, but as I have not tried it I really don't know. They really do help though, I know I am at least 30-40% faster because of my word expander.
That person just wanted the price!
Why are you so negative? All that person was asking for was the price of the course. M-Tec will not say that this is a job in which you can get rich fast. Everybody has their own story, and this goes for every type of job. M-TEC does offer top notch training. They also have a great reputation which will open the doors to a job as a "newbie." The rest is up to you. It is up to you how hard you study and how high your GPA is. Like in other jobs, the higher the GPA, the more opportunities you will receive. Of course you will have the learning curve in the beginning and might not make much money. You might only make 6 cents per line in the beginning. Anybody who is informed knows that anything is possible because so many factors play a role. There are great companies to work for, and there are companines that take advantage of their employees. You will find the same problems in the MT world as you will in other jobs. What is different is that you can work from home which save you time, money, aggravation. If you live in a rural area where there aren't many jobs, then being an MT, working from home, offers you opportunities you otherwise would not have had. If you do not like what you are doing, then maybe you need to get a different job. Why waste your time on a job you obviously do not like? For sure, you should not respond like you did to a simple question about the price of a course.
Do they all teach manners

What they do not teach you in school –
and what I have slowly begun to realize…
1. Every QA/Team Lead/MT has their own style… You must ADAPT.
2. You spend a great deal of time unlearning what you learned in order to comply with your companies guidelines…You must ADAPT.
3. What is audible to a seasoned MT is not quite so audible to a newbie. Instead of getting frustrated, learn from your mistakes. You must ADAPT.
4. As a newbie, no matter how good you think you are, you are never quite good enough…You must ADAPT. Kleenex is good for tears, books are good for learning, pillows are great for yelling into, fist are wonderful for hitting the keyboard. After you are through doing all of that, go back and try again. To be a good MT you must learn to ADAPT…
Maybe not full price, I agree. But some companies are
.
I found this nextag site: price 5.99 to 44.50:

(Here's the page I came off of to get to the "prices" URL: http://www.nextag.com/microsoft-word-2003/search-html . It has various MS Word 2003 packages. You might check it out also.)
Depends on the school. Some actually teach.
Not all schools are just in it for the money. The employers know which ones those are.
No duh. For the same reason they don't teach machining any more.

Not a good school. They don't teach
you enough, and most companies know it and will not let you take their employment test, because they know you probably can't pass it. Definitely a waste of money.
Check out Andrews School or M-Tec. You will definitely be glad you did.
If you pass "if"??? And just where do you teach.

MTStars FlashType is also just like Shorthand only cheaper in price.

You have to PAY EXTRA for the internship and they don't teach you enough to get hired. (see messa
Much better to go to Andrews School or M-TEC, the top two schools in the country. Almost guaranteed to be able to get a job afterwards, and most companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement if you are an Andrews or M-Tec grad.
Wrong. As I said, her English vocab & grammar were great, but PCDI didn't teach her enough medic
With an adequate school she would have been great. She had been a secretary for years and had transcribed business dictation previously. She just couldn't learn enough terms in 3 months or whatever.
