Let's be clear . . .
M-TEC is the only school that has been THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
You made it sound like they're the only one good enough to get the approval. That's not accurate. They're just the only one who's finished the process so far.
Here is a more clear example SM
1. MT who can work 4 hours during the day only, needs family time. Average line counts, good quality. Runs out of work, only wants certain work to supplement.
2. MT who works 2nd shift, asks for more work from whatever account needs help when work runs out. Will take work late into night if line count needs boost or come on early if TAT is out on his/her accounts.
Who is more valuable to the owner of the business?
I would steer clear. (sm)
You said they e-mailed you offering you work and then asked for money. I'm a little unclear as to if you contacted them first or not. If not, I would definitely steer clear. Employers in this business don't generally do that if they are legitimate because there are so many MTs looking for work. I know people have been e-mailed off this board, and were offered work but they had to shell out money first and it turned out to be a scam. I realize it's only $11.95 but it does sound fishy and if it is a scam you don't want to give those type of people any more money. JMO. Please post again if you find out more information.
Hear ya loud and clear!!
I am also having trouble getting my foot in the door anywhere. Frankly, my toes are a little sore!
Yes, I understood perfectly. You came across loud and clear.

To be clear, this is the posters view of the mentioned school
and not the opinion of MTStars. MTStars has no position pro or con on any school even if they are a sponsor. We are merely a venue for people to post within the Terms of Service/Disclaimer of mtstars.com
My final exam was all but ' simple, easy, clear
transcription. It was 70 pages long, 98% accuracy, the audio was mediocre. It was a good school, but not M-Tec or Andrews.
That simple, easy, clear dictation practice is what the crappy schools use.
Then the person graduates, thinks they know what they're doing, and are totally shocked when they start trying to do REAL MT work. One of many reasons these cheap, crappy, found-out-about-it-on-a-matchbook-cover schools AREN'T recommended.
