Meditec does, but there is a fee.

There is also an AIM program, but I don't know anything about that one.

ANYTHING ABOUT MEDITEC OR A MENTOR!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!
me too. I have been looking for someone to mentor me. I am 39 years old and started late in life but I have put my entire heart into this trying to make it work. This is something that I have been wanting to do for years and have finally succeeded. I am having a hard time trying to get started though. Does anyone know anything about Meditec. They offered me an internship program. There will be no pay until I reach 98% accuracy and then they will start paying me.
I did the Meditec internship
and it was really good training. I know the contact person if you would like me to give it to you. Or you can go to Meditec.com and it is on that site I believe. Let me know!
That does not sound like Meditec
At least, certainly not the program as I recall it. And, no, the internship was not "a part of" my training requirements. It was something extra that I wanted and chose to do. I merely consider it a part of my overall training because of the added value of it. Yes, I already had my certificate and probably did not need to do that, but I wanted to and don't regret it. The Jumpstart completion requirements were basically to be able to proove yourself capable of producing quality, clean, error-free reports according to account specs. There were no special numbers or quotas involved. Each report completed was checked by QA who gave me very timely feeback. I do not recall any line requirement for that, especially 200 lph to start. Corie at Meditec is really the best person to talk to about this program and current requirements. I am sure she will answer and/or clarify any questions or concerns you have. It worked out well for me, although Jumpstart was totally separate from training and was something extra I wanted and personally chose to do for the experience. I am still glad I did.
I wish you all the best of luck.
Has anyone worked for Meditec?
If so, can you make any decent money with them? Do they have good accounts, support and platforms? I'm thinking about applying. I'm so tired of working long hours for less than minimum wage.
Scratch CAI and Meditec off of the list. sm
You need to go with proven schools. If you short yourself, you will eventually end up forking out more money to get the right education.
Meditec JumpStart Program
I took the Meditec course and followed with their internship program. I still work with them even though I have finished the JumpStart program. They are very supportive, there is a good variety of clients and software to be able to be exposed to, I am glad to be getting this "first" job experience with such a supportive group.
Meditec's Jumpstart Program
Does anyone know if this mentoring program is good and worth tryiing? Do they have enough work for people they accept?
I took the Meditec intern program
I know that virtually everyone will say you should never have to pay to work. But, I took Meditec's training and intern program because I wanted to get real world experience before the real world job and I wanted a better chance to slide into a job at the end of that internship, which I did. I am sure it is not for everyone, but it worked out well for me.
I did the Meditec Jumpstart program
I have no experience with US Career Institute, so cannot say anything about them.
I did do Meditec's Jumpstart program. You will be doing real reports in real time (mostly VR) and you will receive feedback on each and everyone one. They can be quite critical and harsh. Overall, it was beneficial to me. Meditec will tell you the Jumpstart program helps you gain working experience, and it does. But what I found out after completing it was that the companies I applied to did not count any internship program as experience, thus basically forcing me to work for Meditec after I finihsed it for an extroadinarily low rate. But then again, I did intern myself straight into a job, which I thought was much better than not working at all. That said, I still got very good experience (just not good pay). I got most of my initial two years experience while working for them.
I understand your plan, it sounds similar to what I planned as I went into training, only I also trained through Meditec. Your plan can work. The biggest thing I can advise you to do in addition to your studies and internship is to study the BOS rules and document set up. If you don't, both will come back to haunt you in the way of not finding a good job when you are ready. I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can tell you, please email me. Good luck to you and God Bless.
Career step and Meditec-sister courses-sm
I understand these are two in the same course ran by sisters. One charges much more than the other. What makes Career Step any better than Meditec if the Meditec course is basically what Career Step is using to begin with, and the Meditec lady wrote the course?
Meditec supposed to be good but has a waiting list. The SOAP program
