I have not had personal experience with them but have been told by many to stay clear of them.

HI...I have just signed up with Trans Am, so far I am happy. They are very helpful and sooooooooo nice.
If it works like they say I am happy I spent the money to get the program. I cant find anyone else to give a newbie a shot at working.
They say how badly we are needed, but make it sooooo difficult to get any experience.

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF MED TRANS INC. IN ARIZONA??

What is bad about them?
Trans AM
I was just browsing and noticed you post. I too was caught up in the Trans AM thing about 2 years ago. I lost some money, but I got to transcribe some practice files and had them edited for me. That gave me enough experience to land a local doc. From there to an IC position, then to Spheris and now I work for a local multi-speciality hospital. Don't give up. I didn't.

I can't believe someone can claim being a good Christian and pull stunts like that. They should be put in jail or sued or something
TRANS-SCAM
you will train forever and never get paid! Run away now!
cALIFORNIA TRANS
I beg to differ. I've been with them for nearly 10 years and love my job. No, she doesn't help you set up your computer but the hospital help desk does. And yes, you do have to be somewhat computer literate. What's the big deal with once a month pay?
Allstate Trans.?
Does anyone know anything about Allstate Transcriptions? They have a mentoring program for newbies, supposedly, and you have to pay $99 to get into it. I'm very leery of having to pay for anything to get a job.
psyche trans..
are you looking for someone to work with you on this specialy? I would like to try my luck if you are..
Trans. School
I need some help from you newbies. I know of someone who wants to take a transcription course at home. I don't know which one to recommend to her. She is disabled from working in an office but is free to work at home. I'd like to help her get started. So, if anyone has anything to say about a school, positive or negative, please post a reply. It's been a long time since I've had to research this, so any help would be appreciated.
trans am associates
can anyone give me the scoop on trans am associates? a friend suggested that i look into it, but i keep seeing a bunch of information about it being a scam. are they legit or just scam artists? help a newbie out please.
Try E-Trans Plus out of Nashville
Also, DTS out of Tennessee often hires newbies. Don't get discouraged... My girlfriend graduated and started getting scared after about 5 wks with no offers. She is now working for a new company and loves her job. Just be persistent.
Trans am Transcription
Does anybody know anything about Trans am Transcription out of Florida?
New MTs - Beware of Trans Am Associates
This website is a scam - For starters, you have to take a transcription test by listening to dictation (can't use the foot pedal), writing it down on paper, then type it in an email. Most legitimate companies let you use your foot pedal.
They also offer to give you free MT training (no such thing unless you are trained on the job on-site). The catch? You have to buy almost $400 (if not more) software.
Trans Am Associates scam preys on new or aspiring MTs - please be wary! I am an 8-year MT, and have never been asked before to take an MT test this way, plus this company has numerous entries on www.ripoffreport.com about "students" that have been swindled.
.....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.
Trans am Assosciates? any info or feedback ?
I've been checking out this company and they require me to buy alot of software...I know I have to have some software, but I just wanted to make sure before I spend too much time (and money-possibly) on this company. Help, please....
Trans Am isn't a BAD company, it's a RIP OFF. Don't believe folks? Go ahead and find out.

Medical Trans. Staffing School- here is one Summer
OK! It was harder to find than I thought. They are in the middle of an offer to train right now so, Summer, you can see and read what they are doing.
I didn't want to use the one we currently use for fear of being biased, but we did use this school for staffing about 1-1/2 yrs ago and they did a good job. Our company paid down the tuition somewhat to attract a large number of students at one time. We didn't pay it down this low.

$1990 for the Basics, short internship and a job. If I'm right this is about the same price as Career Step but you don't get internship or a job there.
I think M-Tec is over $3000 and Andrews is probably close to that. How much is Andrews? Does anyone know their tuition cost?
You don't need to pay retail prices to be trained and have a job. I know Community Colleges are very long and pretty costly so this is a good alternative.
Of course, Penn Foster, US Career, etc are really a tough way to go. I think a recent grad of US Career told me she had trained on tapes- Whew!!!!!!
I'm afraid there aren't as many MT staffing schools as I thought. The other one I found didn't remotely compare to this one. Beautiful website!
