I am enrolled in AIM.
It's a good program. They are very nice and always "there" to help. We are given files each day to transcribe. We are given each file back after the Editor makes corrections. 
That's the one I'm enrolled with
That's the school I'm enrolled with now. It's called Canscribe and it seems ok so far. Luckily I didn't/don't need the financial aid to go back to school so it's already paid for, but from what I've now read it is more expensive than it would be south of the border. oh well. I just don't want to lose money by investing it into something I couldn't use. I think i should be ok though. Worst case scenario is I'll end up having to get a dialup connection for work-related stuff. I heard from Medquist and they will hire people with satellite internet and they hire canscribe grads so that's good too. Spheris doesn't deal with the satellite connection but like I said, if it came right down to it, I'd just get dialup.
I took the course. I couldn't get a job, so I enrolled in m-tec to get a job

of these posts before I enrolled in an MT course. Thanks
I haven't, yet. (sm)
I emailed her on the 12th letting her know a complaint had been filed with the BBB, she emailed me back and said she would mail out the check the following day, which would have been last Wednesday. Hopefully, it will be here soon, I know how slow the mail can be. I will let everyone know when (if) I do receive it.
If you haven't already
contact both M-Tec and Andrews and speak with the folks that run the schools. They are both very accessible and can help you figure out what would be the best fit for you.
No, I haven't talked to
anyone yet. They just sent me an e-mail with all of the info and papers to sign. I am in San Antonio.
It is one of the worst schools out there. If you haven't
paid your money don't. If you read through the archives you'll see many posts where their graduates were unable to pass tests and/or felt ill-prepared for the real MT world. They are cheaper than most, but you get what you pay for.
You still haven't addressed the issues brought up below . (sm)
The first sentence of your post above says you are going to address the issues posted on this board, and yet you STILL haven't addressed these issues, such as why you take money upfront instead of letting people buy their own software, why you charged for software that is free, why does someone need to buy a foot pedal from you when they can buy it on their own, and if someone already has a foot pedal and the software what would you charge them. It seems you're skating around the issues instead of addressing them. This has nothing to do with pleasing people 100% of the time, and it has nothing to do with personnel issues. I don't work for you. This is about enlightening those who need it about the scams that are out there.
And you DO respond to these posts very quickly. You responded to my original post INSTANTLY.
how can you rate a "car" you haven't taken out on the "highway" yet?

.....if you haven't figured it out by now, Trans--Am is a scam- sm
any company that asks you to pay $$$ in order to work for them is not on the level. (I am not talking about renting equipment like a C-phone, footpedal or a computer). I have not heard of Career Builder, but again do not pay to work for anyone. As for trying to get a job just keep applying and test everywhere you can.
For Career Step, yes. Their grads haven't done as well for me as M-TEC & Andrews
In my experience, M-Tec and Andrews are the cream of the crop.
Plenty of jobs out there w/o typing tests. Haven't

Keep searching the boards for the info you seek. And go thru an MT program if you haven't already
