Webmedx CMT class. sm - nn

Posted: Jan 09, 2010

Has any Webbies out there ever taken this class? If so, would it be worth it? Just curious before I sign up for it. TIA.

Probably not worth it. Just my - opinion though.

Anyone else? TIA. nm - nn

you participate with others in class, everything scheduled for you by the company, costs borne partly by the company, >>>you end up earning an extra quarter cent per line afterward<<<, and you get to put CMT on your resume, which matters to some if not to you. Of course it's worth it! They do practically everything but take the test for us, for goodness' sakes. I also discovered a truly excellent Thai restaurant when I went into the nearest city to take the test. So....definitely go for it.

Good to do if you want your CMT - Webber

The class wasn't bad, kept me on track. If I was doing it on my own I probably wouldn't have stayed focused and taken the test in a timely manner.

I wish I got an extra 1/2 cent when I passed, but I was only given 1/4 cent :(

Whoops, was it a quarter cent? Sorry. Memory's definitely SM - MissIndigo

is not what it was. I was remembering how irritated I had been when a previous employer started hiring people with a CMT at an additional cent per line, regardless of how their skills actually compared to people without. At that time I didn't have the CMT, so I told them I'd like an additional cent per line raise and settled for a half cent.

Yes, I have taken the class - Think it is worthwhile

I have always wanted to earn my CMT, but would take practice CMT tests and totally bomb them. I did not have the confidence that I could pass the CMT exam so I never went for it. When they offered the CMT prep class last year, I signed up for it. They helped me know where to focus my studies and also what was important from each section. I felt my confidence building with each class and finally by the time I took my CMT exam I was nervous but fairly confident that I had studied enough of the right thing to be successful. When I finally passed that test it was not only the initials after my name, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong goal of mine. For me it was definitely a worthwhile venture.

It was also a big help to me that the company helped pay the cost of my test. Another reason I had never taken the test before - the cost!

So, to me I say go for it! Not only will you come out with some credentials, but you'll also learn a LOT and enjoy it!

I wish you luck and hope you decide to go for it!

Working in a group made it easier for me to know where to focus my studying.

I agree! - MTCMT

I agree. I took the study session also before I took my test. I always wanted certified and this was my chance. Study groups, a small raise, and help paying for the test were benefits and encouragement for me to take the test. I had only worked for smaller hospitals; therefore, I needed this class to help me study and get my butt in gear to do it! I passed the first try and I believe I owe that to the study sessions. Also, WMX has the classes you can take to earn your credits and keep up with your CMT, which is really nice!
I agree and think you should do the study session. Its only an hour out of the day, but it will benefit you in the long run if you want to get certified. Good luck to you! :)

A friend of mine is taking the CareerStep class for MT (although I tried to talk her out of it). Anyway she is in the transcription part, and using the disks that were supplied with the course. How did you listen to and transcribe from this. She put the disk in the disk drive of her computer, but there is no way to start/stop the dictation, etc. and I believe it would be very frustrating. Or are we both missing something? Did you use expresscribe or something and do ...

If a person types 60 words a minute (roughly six lines with 10 words per line), and it takes two minutes to type those six lines (roughly twice the amount of time as dictated), that equates to this: 30 minutes divided by 6 lines equals 5 cents, divided by 2 for the time factor of typing = 2.5 cents a line. I guess we are seeing the new low in the MT limbo dance. ...
