Spend every penny you can afford on an excellent chair and a keyboard that works for you. You need to try both out before you buy them. I would say nothing is more important than those two items. People who skimp on them normally pay with pain! Good luck in your studies! M-Tec grad here as well. :-)

You are absolutely right!!!!
I'll be the first to admit it. Not only myself but others in my field who I am friends with make bloopers and blunders. It has nothing to do with newbie versus old timer. It is how much time you put into what you are doing, and if you have the desire to put out a good product. To error is human, right??????
absolutely
I agree with you. I took this course thinking it was going to be a breeze. I got to the reports and had to go back and review most of what I had just learned. It isn't as easy as one thinks. Now I am working and it is really hard.
Absolutely!
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7. I must have noise canceling headphones and these are awesome. Check on E-bay for a good deal. They cup the ears like earmuffs (which is what I prefer) and they are SOooooo comfortable. Great brand, great headphones.
If you don't absolutely know it, don't type it.
Blank it. Don't just type what you hear. Know what you are typing.
You're absolutely right!
I think it really depends on the individual.
They are absolutely a scam. They
tell you that you must buy $400 worth of software from a specific company. Many times the software doesn't work but TranSCAM will not help you because you didn't buy it from them and the company you did buy it from won't contact you. I personally think it is a company related to TranSCAM,
If the software works they tell you that you have to get good QA scores before they release you to getting paid for your work. In the meantime you are doing work they are getting paid for (how they get accounts I have no idea) and you are never good enough to be released.
There have been multiple complaints filed with the BBB against them, several never resolved. They have moved to a different state at least once and changed their name at least once. If you "work" for them you will get some experience, but it really will not help you get another job because their reputation is well known and it isn't good.
Those are absolutely the 2 best schools.
You can't go wrong with either one, they are worth every penny.
I chose a less expensive school, and if I had it to do over, I would definitely choose either Andrews or M-TEC.
Absolutely do not take Penn Foster.
You only have to have an 8th grade education to make you eligible for their courses, so that should tell you right off the bat it can't be that good of a program. My teen son took a course through them (not MT) and it was very poorly written and the information wasn't always accurate.
It is a cheap program, but you get what you pay for.
Absolutely untrue - no school here
I never attended or graduated ANY school! Hired off the street at a hospital 5 years ago, due to my coding/billing background - I didn't even apply to be an MT, they asked me to try it. After 3 years left the hospital, applied to a major MTSO, hired immediately on the results of my test, after a year applied to a different major MTSO, again hired immediately due to my test scores.
So if 2 of the major MTSOs (Spheris and Webmedx) hired unofficially trained, uncredentialed little old ME, it proves schools and credentials don't pertain - its skills that matter.
Thanks for replying... It sounds absolutely perfect - sm
that is what I would be looking for exactly. It is nice to know that there are opportunities like that around. Good for you! Enjoy your job! Thanks again!
I absolutely agree. I have 4 years' experience, but wouldn't try to enter the field now. nm
