If you choose Course #1 Basic - USED

You will NOT get a digital foot pedal. You need to have your own computer with MS Windows & MS Word.

This is for those that may already have a foot pedal. Or you may choose to buy a foot pedal later in the course on your own and may already have a desktop computer or laptop.

For a limited time the Used Course comes with all the mandatory books.  It does NOT come with a foot pedal.  You can choose to add one or buy it on your own.

This used course #1 option does NOT normally come with the mandatory books AHDI Book of Style & AHDI Workbook or the medical dictionary. 

Items that are not  included in the Course #1 Used -

We will let you know where you can find these items.

Keep in mind that most of these items you will use for both your training and your transcription work as an MT.

(If you get the 2 Bonus or 3 Ultimate course package you will already have the mandatory items listed on this page & a digital foot pedal.) 

This does not include a computer or MS Word; you will have to have your own computer with MS Word on it. We do have the option to add a computer with MS Word to your enrollment for an extra charge.

Average Cost of Mandatory & Recommended Medical Transcription Items:

*** = Mandatory!   These are items that you must get for your training.  You can wait until 1/2 through the course when you complete your terminology part. 

** = Items that we recommend if you have not had prior training in that subject.

* = Recommended Items.

***Digital foot pedal (transcriber) - The average cost for this is about $100 - $300 depending on where you find it online. 

*** Stedman's or Dorland's Medical Dictionary - We let you know where to purchase such items as electronic dictionary, which costs an average of $50.00 - $100.00

*** AHDI Book of Style - $70 - $90 (This will depend on the version and where you get it at. Some places are cheaper than others.

***AHDI Book of Style Student Workbook - $50 (This will depend on the version and where you find it online).

The AHDI Book of Style and Student Workbook mentioned above are mandatory for all students. This is an important part of the style and format of the transcription section of the training and you will use this during your training and also when you work as an MT.

* Prescription drug reference book - Average Price - $45

While we recommend a drug reference book, some students use an online drug reference site to look up the names of the medicines for their transcription work. This is more of a personal preference.

**Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology - If you are not a Nurse, and have never had any training in Anatomy & Physiology then you need to get this book to use along with our course.  The average price is $45.00 - $50.00 depending on where you get it.

* Typing Tutor - If you feel you need to improve your typing skills then we also recommend getting a typing tutor called Mavis Beacon. There are other typing tutor programs online; however, this is the best one in our opinion to work on both the typing speed and accuracy.  Average Price - up to $26.99

*** Digital foot pedal - If you get a course that does not have a foot pedal with it such as Course #1 Used you will need to purchase one before you start the transcription part of the course.

You will need to have a computer that has Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. It does not have to be a laptop. This is only a personal preference as to if you wish to use a desktop computer or a laptop computer. Either one is fine.

If you already have a computer that is not real old and has MS Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 then you probably do not need to get a new computer.

You will also need to have the program Microsoft Word for both the course and for working as an MT.

NOTE: Because we are a Christian company and believe in being up front, we wanted to let you know that if you choose to get a laptop through us, please check around online first. Sometimes depending on the time of year you might be able to find a laptop cheaper online. For example: around the holidays or when school starts.

We get them at a set price and therefore we cannot lower our rates when other places have sales. We cannot change your enrollment if you do find one cheaper online. Please do your research before adding on a laptop to your enrollment!
