Wendy likes the ROS course return policy and course purchase options. You can buy the course in units so you re not obligated if you find out this is not for you. There is also an option to apprentice with ROS after completing training. ROS is owned and operated by a medical transcriptionist, unlike some courses that are administered by large companies. She considers this a big plus for students who may not get this kind of attention and experience with large companies that sell many types of courses.
Some companies just sell courses.
Before you shell out money for a course, consider all the expenses you will incur to get training. For example, many courses do not include a transcriber machine. Consider setting up a grid that will allow you to compare the value you might get at different schools. But she notes that by the time you put together the basics, you might end up spending as much as you would spend for a low-end course. Wendy notes that there are frequently used courses and equipment for sale since people jump into the field without understanding the commitment involved.
