In the interest of accurate information, I'd like to clarify.
Andrews does not own MTDesk or a transcription service.
"Maybe what I heard that Andrews, M-Tec and VLC were the moderators. I know Linda Andrews was answering questions as a moderator when I was on the site a year ago. I don't have time to research it now, but I know someone who knows for sure."
I know for sure.
These three schools each have a school forum on MTChat, which they moderate. Linda also moderates the coding and billing forum.
"Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step advertise all over the internet 24X7."
Do you mean the sponsorship banners on MTDesk and MTStars? If so, I would hardly call them "advertising all over the internet," since they're limited to two websites.
"If they have a full-time waiting list then why advertise at $10 to $15 a click on Google?"
We don't.
"Deb, this is any school. . ."
It is not Andrews.
"I still predict that staffing schools will be the solution to very costly tuition and the 2 year experience requirement."
Just for comparison, tuition for hairdresser school here is $17,000.
Let's do a cost comparison. Andrews is, as Deb noted, $3800. That includes everything for basic, advanced transcription and specialty transcription--even hardcopy books and individualized instruction.
The cost of the same course content same program, as listed on a certain website advertised on Google, is a total of $2104 for the basic course and hard copies of books; 999 for the internship; 1198 for both advanced specialty modules; and 299 for job placement. That's a total of $4600, plus an additional $300 for any extension required.
The only difference I can see is that the latter teaches a typing class, while Andrews does not.
