Cai Medical Transcription Course

Q: I will be signing up with a medical transcription school in December. I don't have much money and am torn between CAI and AHP. The AHP long course goes into a lot of depth as to formatting, etc. However, the CAI course has connections with MedQuist which is where I would like to work. I would like opinions on these two programs. I understand that are more extensive schools out available; however, I want to get the BEST education for the money I can spend. I have narrowed my choices to these two programs.

A:-Where the heck do people get the idea that formatting is so all-fired important? It is the least of your worries as each facility has its own format and will tell you what that is. I don't think either of those courses is anywhere near the best. "Can't afford" it doesn't cut it excep as in "You can't afford NOT to take a good course." Otherwise what you "saved" in tuitition will be magnified with what you lose IF you can land a job. -I found that if you call up http://www.deja.com, and do a Google search on 'CAI Transcription', you will uncover some posts on this subject. Then if you still have http://www.deja.com, and do a Google search on 'At Home Professions', you will uncover some posts on this subject. BTW, if you want the best education for your money, you might look into a medical transcription program which is offered at a community college.
