M-Tec was the first school awarded ADHI approval in 2005 and was recently awarded a three-year renewal in 2008; the ADHI states that this school is one of the best for those with no prior experience and for health care professionals making a career change. M-Tec places graduates in home-based and on-site positions and each student works closely with his or her instructor for help in finding employment. Most transcription companies require two years of experience before you can test for a job with them, but because of M-Tec's reputation, many companies will wait the two-year requirement.
The tuition, to date, is $3,975; the program should be completed in 12 months. Loans are available through Sallie Mae and an interest free monthly payment plan through the school is also an option.
