Unfortunately there are a lot of people who just don't see the harm in lying.
Maybe she should be a politician. I hope she doesn't mind when people lie to her.

If someone offered to pay her 8 cpl and then only paid her 7 cpl, I bet she wouldn't like that lie.

It all depends on whose foot the shoe is on.

M-TEC financial assistance
Did you actually speak with someone from M-TEC? If you go to their website under Prospective Students and then under Tuition/Financial Assistance, it states they offer plans, and other info is listed as well. If you have not actually called them yet, then do so. I would not recommend At Home Professions.

Financial Assistance???
I am currently a full-time-college-student-but-otherwise-SAHM. Pretty soon we'll be needing more money, but I have neither time nor resources (day care around here is INSANELY expensive) to work outside the home. I've been doing the reasearch and have come to the conclusion that MT is a good job option for me.

The problem is the training is sooo expensive! I mean,if we didn't need the money I wouldn't be looking for the training to begin with--so obviously I don't have $1600-4000 up front for the training. And most of the payment plans I see aren't looking much better--like $1000 up front, $350 every month after that. Right now that's just not feasable.

Are there any MT schools that offer reasonable financial assistance? Or, I'd even be cool with a payment deferment plan or something!

Anybody know of a school that's willing to help the financially strapped?

Contact your school right away for assistance.
The holiday season is always slow for hiring. Companies avoid bringing in new employees during prime vacation time.

If you have been taking tests and have not heard back, chances are good that you are not doing well enough on them to entice an employer into hiring you. They will be looking for about a 98% on their test.

MTSOs do not hire based on your GPA from school. They hire based on their employment test. They might decide NOT to hire you based on your overall presentation on paper, in an interview, on the phone, etc., but they decide TO hire primarily on the basis of the test.

If you are having problems getting hired, you need to discuss it with your school immediately . . . before you wear out your welcome with every available employer. Do not wait any longer on this. Get their advice and assistance right now!

MTEC does offer financial assistance.
While MTEC is expensive it is also one of the top 2 MT schools out there. You get what you pay for. Also, they do accept financial aid. Check out their site, they have a person on staff that handles situations just like yours!

(Oh yea, I am a student at MTEC!)

Contact your school for job placement assistance. NM

Apply for child care assistance and put the kids in daycare.
You can't juggle all that. Either that or have the father watch his own kids for a while so you can work.

Try asking the school directly. Both Andrews & M-TEC have some sort of assistance programs, not sure

I meant $500.00 not &500.00...
Sorry.

Not quite what I meant
I just meant I could still recoup most of my fees (-30%) if I pull out before the end of this week, otherwise I'm in it for the long haul. I wouldn't pursue this as a career without the education so I'm wondering if it is worth doing this at all?

What I meant...

I was actually referring to the allstatetranscription website. I failed to notice that the link didn't show in my original post. Here it is, if anyone is interested.

www.allstatetranscription.com

I believe they would agree with the above Poster, that M-tech and Andrews are at the top of the list. I didn't know those places existed when I started into training. I don't know much about Career Step.

I went through Allied Business Schools, and their MTAPPP (medical terminology, etc) course is excellent, and very thorough, but I felt the interaction was sparce on the Transcription Course. I believe the books they use are good, they just need a bit more interaction between students and staff, more grading and feedback on transcripts. If you want to just work through their textbook on your own to see if that line of work interests you, you could get it from Barnes and Noble booksellers. It is called

Fundamentals and Practice of Medical Transcription, and it would provide a nice introduction to the subject, but I don't advise buying the whole MT course through Allied.

meant....question
sorry

Nobody meant to attack you...
just to warn you that some places get very upset and consider it dishonest if you list anything done in school as experience. Didn't want you to find out the hard way.

OOPS< correction on what I meant...
The name of that textbook I mentioned is Mecical Transcription Fundamentals and Practice. (MTFP)

She probably meant either MTACC or Meditech, not M-TEC. NM
