The Refresher Course

 

Refresher Course

If you graduated from the TypeWell transcribing course in the past, but have not been transcribing regularly in the last 2 years, you must pass the refresher course before providing TypeWell services again.  The refresher course will bring your transcribing skills back. 

The refresher course covers the same material as the regular transcribing course, although at a reduced price.  This refresher course is available only for TypeWell transcribers who have previously passed the transcribing course, and costs $200 rather than the $400 of the full transcribing course. 

If you graduated prior to September 2006, you'll find the new online transcribing course to be more fun and convenient than what you used.  In addition you'll discover new material that will improve your skills rather than just restoring them. 

The online course system allows you to proceed quickly through areas where your skills have not deteriorated.  However, it's safest to plan on the course taking you the full time specified in the preregistration.  If you do proceed faster you'll have saved some time, but many refreshers find they want or need to spend extra time to touch up their skills. 

To take this refresher transcribing course, do the course application below.  Sign up like any new transcribing-course candidate and proceed through the typing tests and the 15-minute registration process.  When you get to the payment page, stop there and contact us by email and identify yourself by name.  We'll verify in our records that you've previously passed a transcribing course, and will then send you information for paying the lower $200 refresher course fee by credit card. 

Ready to apply?

If you are ready to take the course, the first step of application is to take our automated sample 3-minute typing test.  This will show if your skills are close to what's required for the transcribing course.  If you pass the sample test, we'll set up your free application account, will tell you more about the course, and will have you take the full 5-minute typing test. 

Be warned!  This is a hard test!  Even if you get high scores like 75 words per minute on some other typing tests, you might fail this one.  That's because this test includes numbers, dates, names, and many multisyllabic words.  This is representative of the kind of typing you would have to do as a transcriber. 

    

Please note, what you are about to take is only a sample test.  After passing this sample test, you will have to continue on to the application process to take the full typing test.
