Andrews isn't accredited.
I'm looking into online MT courses, too, and thought Andrews looked promising. When I wrote for information, they were vague. It sent up a red flag when they said they "greatly appreciate" it when you pay for the tuition in full as opposed to making payments. I also felt uneasy about the contact person being Ms. Andrews. I felt like this was a woman's new business and not a true educational institution.
Just my two cents.
I know what accredited means.
That is why I inquired as to the intent of the OP's use of the word. When she explained what she meant, I gave her an answer as to the intended question.
I am also aware that there are no accredited MT programs, and to the quality of most of the schools on the ADHI listing. I was attempting to politely and logically steer her in the direction of a school that would not give her a sub-par education and cause her to return to this board in a few months lamenting her inability to find an entry-level employment opportunity because her education was inadequate.
Do you have an opinion of the school she inquired about? Do you know anyone who has attended the school? If so, were they successful in finding legitimate, gainful employment?
Is the Andrews School accredited sm
so I can get a student loan to attend? The guy at the bank asked this question and I am not sure even after going to their website. Thanks for any info.
Accredited basically means they offer financial aid. Did you mean AAMT-Approved?
If it's an AAMT-approved school, you won't have a problem. Schools that provide financial aid are required to be accredited. That means their financial records are reviewed to make sure the government's money is being handled right. They aren't evaluating the value of the course or qualifications of the course to teach medical transcription.
