Medical Transcription Online Career Training Courses

Medical transcriptionist career training programs teach students how to transcribe doctors' dictation into documents, through our online career course. Our working transcriptionist course graduates come from many career backgrounds: factory worker, stay-at-home-mom, admin secretary, massage therapy, RN and lab supervisor, to name a few. Our transcription career training program includes practice prepared by doctors so students begin to learn how dictation really sounds. Our school program employs Three of the best Transcriptionist instructors who review, mark both tests and exams as well as mentor, to make your computer a great alternative to a community college or university classroom, at a fraction of the cost. A community college or university degree is not necessary to succeed as a career transcriptionist in this online training course program. Although this is not a traditional distance learning correspondence course in the true sense of the word, it can be considered a correspondence course for online learning. A normal correspondence course is where students receive their lessons and course material by standard mail, complete tests at home and then submit them back to the school by mail. Our course is online with immediate test results returned to you in nano seconds, as opposed to waiting for snail mail.

Transcription exclusives at the VLC include: the M.I.M.E. method of online teaching, SmarTechnologies, and for eligible students, a Work Placement Program.
