When you register, you will immediately receive a page that gives you the password information for the course. You should print this page out for your records. Currently the materials and the exercises are available for free. However, the courses themselves are unsupported , meaning that there is no instructor who will provide feedback, grade your assignments, or answer questions. Until such time as we are able to secure funding, the materials and exercises are available to you, but we will only be able to provide limited online help to you.
Many prospective students ask about becoming a certified transcriber.
The only agency that certifies transcribers is the Library of Congress. Once you have completed any instructional program, whether it be this one or another course, you must submit a 35-page trial manuscript to the Library for evaluation. It is our goal that we prepare you well enough so that you will have the competence and confidence to submit a trial manuscript.
