One question that people frequently ask is what sort of guarantees there are in finding work once they have completed their medical transcription training. It’s a cheeky question really since no profession really offers any guarantee of work. After all, it really does depend on your work history, your work ethics and sometimes even your personality and how you approach things.

Some organizations offer guarantees when it comes to their training products – a satisfaction guarantee if you like. Others make wild claims such as having you in paid work within a week of completing their training. You really do need to read the fine print, however, since there are often obscure conditions to this such as passing with very high scores, or having prior experience in a related industry.

That is not to say that medical transcription training doesn’t lead to work fairly quickly.  Most graduates who submit a resume can expect to find paid employment within 60 days. FutureMT, for example, does guarantee to find you employment within 60 days, or they will provide you with free access to their employment services for a full year. Now this is not a training guarantee, it is employment service guarantee.

In the case of FutureMT, if you complete and pass their medical transcriptionist training course and receive a Certificate of Completion, all you need to do is submit a resume and their guarantee comes into play. No fine print, no hidden conditions. This is what you need to check with any guarantee.

No training course in the world can ever really guarantee employment.  They can do their best to help you find employment, and to continue to do so until you are successfully employed. To expect much more is not really a reasonable expectation – even in an industry that is crying out for more medical transcriptionists. The fact there is a shortage of course is a big plus for you.
