You are not alone. There have been many people who have had the same thing happen to them. But seriously, since you have some background you may not need to take the entire course at another school. M-Tec offers different tiers. It might be worth it for you to check it out. I wish you the best.

I'm not familiar with the material that this course offers. Do you use the SUM CD or tape for dictation practice? What type of reports are you transcribing?
How many reports do you have to complete for your course? What specialties are covered in the course? Did the school supply you with adequate reference books?Does this school offer help with job placement? Ask the school if they have companies that will test their grads. The training that you have received will be the factor in what type of job you will be able to get.

I don't understand. What do you mean you don't have any reference books? I am also in school, and I currently have 9 books open on my desk while I am doing my practices. How do look up words, medications, abbreviations, grammar & style, instruments, etc? Did you pay for this course upfront? You may want to see if you can get a refund. Call national employers see if they will test you once you graduate. Look around your area for local MTSO and see what they require for employment. I would hate to see you put your all in to a course and then not be able to find a job. Not that you won't, you may be able to. But even if you do your going to have a hard time if you have only done 20 reports and don't have any references. The SUM Cd's are great practice, but there is so much more to learn and I can't imagine doing that with out books. You seem like you really want to do this, I wish you well. I think you should make a few calls before you give this school any more money, just my opinion.
