The MT Tools Credential Study Course, a study course for medical transcriptionists for the credentialing process, is now live! This course will cover the CMT and RMT credentialing exams and hopefully better prepare you to sit for the exam. For those who are already certified, it is a good refresher course, so come and join us. Unfortunately, AHDI has notified us that prep courses are no longer eligible for CEs so we cannot offer CE credits for it.
Why Take a Course?
It’s been a goal of yours, you want those initials behind your name. What’s stopping you? This course will help you feel better prepared to take that step and go for it. Prepared by CMTs who have years of experience, this course will cover the topics outlined in the candidate guides to give you a brush up on those skills you already possess and help you understand where your weaknesses may be.
How Long is the Course?
The course will run for 12 weeks. You can join at any time as it is a self-study, self-paced course. While it is self-paced, it is recommended that you complete it within the 12 week timeframe so that you have a well-defined goal of completing the course and going on to take the exam.
What is the Format for the Course?
Based on survey results from MT Tools, the course will be an email course with an online discussion forum. Only those who have registered for the course will have access to the forum. The forum will be a place where students can interact and ask questions about the material. Course material will be received via email two to three times per week throughout the 12 weeks of the program. Once you have registered, you will have lifetime access to the forums. Each section will have exercises to complete, and each medical section will also have proofreading/editing exercises. The real benefit over other self-study courses will be the forums, where you can get questions answered and have discussion. That means you won’t have to do this completely on your own, but will have the support to make it a successful course for you.
