The inpatient/outpatient program was well designed for a student without any previous
medical experience. I just passed my CPC test, and the program had me well prepared.
Thank you so much for being so supportive.
- Sandi – Creswell, OR
I started the course at 50 years old and I was not sure I could learn everything necessary to
become a working MT. The course outlined everything clearly and with a lot of hard work I
became a High Honors graduate and 2 weeks later got my first job. If I can do it, so can you!
Beryl – Leander, TX
When I went for my interview, because of my thorough Career Step training, I was hired on
the spot. The company owner was amazed at my transcription skills compared to
applications from local schools/colleges. I really like being a medical transcriptionist, and I
am so excited to have a career where I can work from my home.
