Re: Schooling question

[Guest guest]

Hi ... and welcome!!

I am currently " re-schooling " - enrolled in the text version @ Career Step.

I took a home-study course some three years ago but feel, in retrospect,

that it just may not have been quite as comprehensive as it could have been.

At the time tho', I thought it was just fine. Long story even longer ... I

am currently working (3 accounts) and struggling to fit this course in, but

I'm quite determined as it seems to be a GREAT one. Go to:

www.careerstep.com for more details and pricing. They do offer a monthly

payment deal too if ya' need that. There are other good ones out there but

sorry to report that I'm not familiar with most. Hope this helps ya' ......

Hi, Jess. Out of the three schools you mentioned, I've only heard of M-Tec.

That doesn't mean

that the other schools aren't good, only that I've not heard of them. M-Tec has

a very good

reputation. s is another distance school that is well respected. I went

to Career Step and

would highly recommend that course as well. There are some others out there,

but these three are

definitely good. If I remember correctly, some of the others are CAI, ROS, and

JEBCO. Contact the

schools and talk to the folks at each school that you consider. Request an

information packet. Ask

lots of questions. Ask them for names of their graduates who you can contact.

Ask about job

placement assistance. Good luck to you in your potential new career!

Schooling question

Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I've been lurking on this list for a

few days now. I used to work in medical records until I got married and

became a SAHW. I've been interested in medical transcription for a

couple of years now and now that I have a baby girl I'd like to learn

this from home and hopefully work from home. I tried to ask this on

another transcription list for people that were just starting out, but

never got an answer, so I thought that I'd ask this here. For any of you

that took a distance learning class or an online course, do you recommend

any certain places to take the course from? I've done a little research

and I have found the Virtual Learning Center, M-TEC (Medical

Transcription Education Center), and Laird's School of Medical

Transcription. Does anyone have any advice for me or recommend where

they took their classes from? I'm really interested in learning this and

I want to make sure that I get the best training possible.
