Double check your facts - The AAMT only has two approved schools - Andrews and M-Tec.

I do agree with you about the TV commercial and newspaper ad schools though because they are definitely not the way to go.

Sorry.
oops
Oops..nevermind. I found it.
Not quite what I meant
I just meant I could still recoup most of my fees (-30%) if I pull out before the end of this week, otherwise I'm in it for the long haul. I wouldn't pursue this as a career without the education so I'm wondering if it is worth doing this at all?
oops!
My post did not edit, that is somewhat embarrassing!
What I meant...
I was actually referring to the allstatetranscription website. I failed to notice that the link didn't show in my original post. Here it is, if anyone is interested.
www.allstatetranscription.com
I believe they would agree with the above Poster, that M-tech and Andrews are at the top of the list. I didn't know those places existed when I started into training. I don't know much about Career Step.
I went through Allied Business Schools, and their MTAPPP (medical terminology, etc) course is excellent, and very thorough, but I felt the interaction was sparce on the Transcription Course. I believe the books they use are good, they just need a bit more interaction between students and staff, more grading and feedback on transcripts. If you want to just work through their textbook on your own to see if that line of work interests you, you could get it from Barnes and Noble booksellers. It is called
Fundamentals and Practice of Medical Transcription, and it would provide a nice introduction to the subject, but I don't advise buying the whole MT course through Allied.
Oops
Haha, sorry about the "seen" typo... should be "seem" ... I usually proofread! Very frazzled!
Oops, that s/b want
meant....question
sorry
Oops! Let's try that again... I'd really appreciate advice
on which is better: online course (one of the top three) or local community college. I've met with the dept head of our college, who answered plenty of questions I had. However, I still feel drawn to the flexibility of training at home, online. If I choose the online route, I would prefer to start working at a local dr. office after I complete the course. I've heard it's great for newbies b/c you have others around to help, etc. Have you heard/experienced if it's hard to get a job locally after graduating from an online course? I think I'd do ok getting a job from a national co, but I hear the pay is better if you're willing to go onsite locally (aprox $15 per hr to start around here), and since I am able to go outside my home, I'd rather get paid more to do that! Eventually, I'd like to work from home, but not right away.
Can you give me any insights? Thanks so much!
